School closures as a result of civil emergency

School and early learning closures as a result of civil emergency

All schools in the Whanganui District and Rangitikei District will be closed on Wednesday, as a result of the state of civil emergency declared by the two District Councils. This is automatic whenever a state of civil emergency is declared.

We will be advising all early childhood education services in those areas to also close. We are contacting all schools and early childhood education services in the Whanganui and Rangitikei Districts to ensure they are aware of the need to close.

Schools and early learning services affected are those within the Whanganui and Rangitikei District Council boundaries.

If parents are unsure if their school or ECE is affected, please visit your school or ECE website or Facebook page for more information, or contact the school or ECE.

Please note that schools will remain closed until the state of emergency is lifted.

For other parts of the country experiencing flooding, parents should make similar checks.
