SAVE THE DATE – SCHOOL CLOSED

To Parents/Caregivers,

School Closure
Nationwide Strike on Thursday 23 October 2025

Kia ora e te whānau,

NZEI Te Riu Roa has announced a nationwide strike on Thursday 23 October 2025, which will involve nearly 40,000 educators across Aotearoa. 

            • Primary school teachers
            • Primary school principals
            • School support staff
            • Ministry of Education learning specialists and support workers

As most staff will be taking part in the strike, Leabank School will be closed for instruction on this day.

We understand that this may cause disruption for some families and thank you for your understanding as educators advocate for conditions that better support teaching, learning, and wellbeing.

School will reopen as normal on Friday 24 October 2025.

Thank you for your ongoing support

 

Caroline McLeod
Principal
