Kia Ora Whānau,

We know this has been a disruptive week with the early finish for Year 1 - 8 ākonga while staff attended the NZEI meeting on Monday.

As advertised earlier this Term we are reminding you about the Year 1 - 8 Staff Only Day, tomorrow Wednesday 27 August 2025. Kaimahi will be offsite visiting other schools as apart of their Professional Development. 

School will be closed for instruction for all Year 1–8 ākonga. But open for learning as normal for Year 9–13 students. 

Thank you again for your understanding.

Kia Ora, 
This is a friendly reminder about the Paid Union Meeting (PUM) for all NZEI members (Primary School Staff) on Monday 25 August 2025 at 2pm. NZEI Kaiako and Support Staff who work with our Year 1 - 8 ākonga, will be attending this meeting at the Town Hall and plan to leave Haeata at around 1.15pm. 

If you are able to pick your Year 1 - 8 tamariki up from school on Monday 25 August at 1.00pm that would help us considerately. However we know this may not be possibly so there will be non NZEI members of staff at Haeata, who will be able to supervise any Year 1 - 8 ākonga who remain onsite.

We know this is a disruption to whānau life, but we appreciate your patience while we continue to support our NZEI Kaimahi across the Hāpori. 

Ngā Mihi
