Update for Canterbury families and students

Thinking about school is probably not high on your agenda right now, but there are two things we’d like to let you know about.

The first is that, as we are unable to retrieve student work from the Christchurch office at this stage, there could be delays in returning  marked work to students. However, students are welcome to send in work in the usual way as we will have alternative systems in place for the mail next week.

The second thing is that we will enrol immediately any student  applying to us for “earthquake” reasons. This applies not only to Christchurch students but to those from the wider district as well.

In the meantime, if there is anything you’d like to know about the education situation in general in the Canterbury region, click on  www.minedu.govt.nz

The Ministry of Education’s emergency response number is 0800 22 55 80
