NATIONAL FUEL PLAN
17 Apr 2026

The Government has introduced a National Fuel Plan, which is available online here:
 
 New Zealand’s Fuel Response Plan [PDF, 206 KB]


There are four phases in this plan, and New Zealand is at Phase 1, “Watchful”. This means the fuel market is operating effectively and fuel is available nationwide.
 
Onsite learning and attendance remain our top priority – as they will at any phase in the plan. Your child therefore needs to continue to attend school regularly.
 
We are planning for Phase 2 and will keep you updated if anything needs to change for our school operations.
 
The Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is the lead agency for New Zealand’s response. You will find more information on their website here:
 
Middle East conflict and New Zealand's fuel stocks – Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment
 
The Ministry of Education is also supporting schools with their planning and has added information here:
 
About our fuel supply response – Ministry of Education
 
As part of the Government’s response, we are planning for Phases 3 – 4. We will share information with you regularly, including if response plan phases change.

 

SPORT FEES DUE
17 Apr 2026


VOLLEYBALL / HOCKEY / BASKETBALL / NETBALL
 
Sport fees need to be paid in full or automatic payments started before students can collect their playing uniform. Students will not be able to play until fee's are sorted.
 
Playing uniforms will be given out throughout week 1-3 in term 2. Students will be notified via KAMAR notices.
