School closed for the Easter break

This year Easter is falling earlier than usual so it's not taking place during the school holidays. It is a Ministry of Education requirement that the Tuesday following Easter Monday is a school holiday. Therefore school will be closed on Friday 29 March, Monday 1 April and Tuesday 2 April 2024.

Please find below the information regarding Easter Tuesday taken from the Ministry of Education website:

The Tuesday following Easter Monday is a school holiday (but not a statutory holiday), meaning schools must not be open.
The terms and holidays are usually set so that Easter occurs during the first term break and the Easter Tuesday school holiday goes unnoticed. However, in some years Easter falls much earlier than usual such as in 1997, 2005, 2008, 2013, 2016, 2021 and 2024.
To have the first 2-week break at Easter in those years would shorten the first term to only 8 or 9 weeks (instead of around 12 weeks). In turn, this would mean that at least 1 of the other 3 terms would have to be longer.
The Minister aims to set 4 terms of reasonably uniform length. This means that in years when Easter falls particularly early, all or some of the Easter break will be during the first term.

We wish you a safe break and look forward to welcoming students back to school on Wednesday 3 April 2024.
