Regardless of what you have heard, Christchurch Schools are CLOSED until further notice, and definitely closed for the rest of the week.
The February 22 earthquake has shaken us all.This edict comes directly from Civil Defence. Civil Defence controls all decision making during the National State of Emergency that currently exists. Their edict is definitive, and must be followed. If their ruling changes, we will tell you.
Fortunately all our staff and students were unhurt and our buildings stood up to the
quake with minimal damage.
Our playground has gone from being a flat surface to a rolling, undulating playground.
We hope all our students and their families are coping okay and have somewhere safe
to stay.
I am so proud of how everyone dealt with the Earthquake on Tuesday. Staff were all pillars of strength for our children which I know helped them stay calm. I know staff all had families and homes of their own to worry about but each and every one put the children and their immediate needs first. Thank you so much staff - you were AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that all of our families are safe and staying strong during this very difficult time. At this time you need to ensure you look after yourself and your families and when we reopen and you feel ready to have your children back in school we will be here to support you and your families.
Take care for now and ensure you ask for help if you need it.
