A reminder for our parents and caregivers

RHS Admin —

We have a couple of public holidays and a Staff Only Day just around the corner.

RHS will be closed on the following dates:

  • Queens Birthday - Monday the 6th of June 2022
  • Staff Only Day - Thursday the 23rd of June 2022. Students will be able to carry out their learning from home on this day.
  • Matariki - Friday the 24th of June 2022.  

For the first time ever, Aotearoa New Zealand will celebrate Matariki with a public holiday on Friday 24 June 2022. Matariki is a special occasion in the New Zealand calendar which marks the start of the Māori New Year. Signified by the Matariki cluster of stars reappearing in our night sky, this is a time to reflect on the past year, celebrate the present, and plan for the year ahead.

For those who are interested, here is a little more information to better understand the observance of Matariki: https://bit.ly/3wOp2HU
