He roimata ua, he roimata tangata, aue te mamae…

‍

In light of the fire event in Newtown that occurred overnight, Toi Whakaari has decided to cancel all classes today, Tuesday 16 May. Our thoughts and aroha are very much with those affected, and to our emergency response services working on the ground.

‍

We have communication channels with students and tutors encouraging them to stay home.

‍

Students and whānau can reach out to our Tumuaki Tanea Heke directly if they require any support. You can contact her by email at tanea.heke@toiwhakaari.ac.nz or call her on 021 886 972.

‍

A further update on the plan for the coming week will be provided as the situation develops.

‍

Please keep yourselves safe. Ngā manaakitanga a te runga rawa ki runga i a koutou katoa.
