All kaimahi hui - Clearways, Rukuhia

Our ‘All kaimahi’ hui (Trust staff only) will be held from Monday 9 February to Thursday 12 February at Clearways in Rukuhia. More details, including the programme and any practical information about travel and accommodation, will be shared separately.
 

To help things run smoothly

If the public holiday applies to you, please set an out of office message and note who to contact while you are away. Kōhanga Reo should continue to follow their local arrangements for opening or closing on the relevant day.
