56 schools and 22 early childhood services around Otago and Southland have let us know they have closed as a result of the recent snowfall.
The best information will come from schools and early learning services themselves and parents and whānau are advised to check their school’s or early childhood service’s website or Facebook page or contact them directly for the latest information.
The decision to close remains that of the Board of Trustees for schools and Centre Managers/Owners for Early Learning services. Our support is available as required.
