Update 14-06-2011

Well after yesterday... one thing is for certain. This is going to be the new NORMAL for many months to come. We were again very lucky that we sustained no injuries and all our students and staff were safe and sound. After the first initial quake we made the decision to close the school. It was felt there would be many aftershocks and we would be in and out of classrooms. This decision proved to be a good one. Thanks to all our community of parents who came as soon as they could to pick up their children. We hope you are all safe!

To update you on the current situation.

* We are awaiting the MOE guidelines about reopening.

* We have a property check today and will update you as soon as we know.

* If clearance is given, we will need a day to clean up the classrooms and prepare to re-open.

* All liquefaction has to be removed (this may take a day as well).

So, this means we may have teachers back on site tomorrow and the cleanup of the liquefaction on Tuesday/Wednesday. Hopefully we will be able to reopen on Thursday or Friday. Rest assured, we will do our very best.

The best part is our new sewerage system stood up well, we already have port-a-loos on site and clean drinking water. So we are better off than most schools!
