SCHOOL CLOSURE- UPDATED

Kia ora koutou,

We hope you and your family are keeping safe as Post-Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle continues its journey across Tamaki Makaurau Auckland.

Following conversations with other schools in our local area and the Ministry of Education. Māngere College will remain closed on Wednesday 15 February. This will enable our Senior Leadership team to assess any damage and remedy this before students return on-site. This decision has been made through consultation with the Ministry of Education, the School Board, and under the Education and Training Act 2020.

Māngere College will open for all students at 8.45am on Thursday 16 February and a normal timetable will resume.

Thank you for your support of each other during what continues to be a challenging time for so many.

Ngā manaakitanga,

Melegalenuu Ah Sam
