Friday 10 March 2023. School will be closed for instruction next Thursday 16 March (Limited Supervision will be available)
Tēnā koutou katoa
Next Thursday, school will be closed for instruction due to NZEI teachers striking. We will be offering limited supervision for whānau who cannot find suitable childcare for their tamariki. Please note, do not send your tamariki to school if you need a break as we will not have the staff to manage large numbers.
What to do if I cannot find childcare for my tamariki?
– Contact the school office to register your tamariki. You can do this by either phoning, emailing (office@sps.kiwi.nz) or visiting the office in person by Wednesday 15 March.
– Please note, there will be no food in schools on this day.
– If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Office Team.
