Wero Whitewater Park is holding an Aquatic Extravaganza this Saturday 1st April in Manukau and we would like to extend an invitation to all of the tamariki, schools, and their whānau that take part in one of our programs in South Auckland.

This is a completely free event for the entire family. Kids will be able to take part in on-water activities and there are plenty of things to do and see and eat out of the water too. 

If you have ever driven past on the motorway and wondered what goes on in the rapids over the hill now is your chance to find out!

School is Closed Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th February

Based on the current advice from Auckland Emergency Management, the Met Service and our local Ministry of Education office, we have decided to close Leabank Primary School on Monday and Tuesday this week.

Please look for further updates on Tuesday.

We have made this decision with the safety of students and staff members as our priority. Distance learning will not be possible at this time.  At this stage, we intend to reopen on Wednesday 15th February.

We regret the inconvenience this may cause you and hope that you all stay safe through the coming storm event.

Kia ora Leabank School Whanau,

On Monday this week, the Secretary for Education took the decision to direct schools and other education providers in Auckland to close for on-site instruction (learning) because of the weather emergency and the need to reduce traffic on roads. 

This initial direction was until the 7th of February, the last day schools must start their term under education regulations.

The Secretary for Education, Iona Holsted, undertook to review the direction to close on a daily basis, to minimise disruption to schools that can open. 

After review today, the Secretary has lifted the Direction to close. 

As a result of this decision, The Board has decided that the school will open tomorrow Thursday 2nd February 

Please contact the School Office if you have any questions or if there is anything you need us to know about before school starts.

Leabank Primary School

After discussion with the Ministry of Education and the school Board of trustees, we regret to inform you that the school will not be opening until 7th February. We will be open from 9:00am to receive calls and answer any question tomorrow.

Take care, stay safe and we look forward to seeing you all on the 7th of February.
