Vector has notified the school of an extensive infrastructure project taking place in and around Māngere to install new electrical equipment. This work is essential to ensure our local electricity network remains safe, reliable and able to support our growing community.

Project Overview
To minimise long-term disruption, Vector has coordinated three major projects to occur at the same time. This combined approach reduces the need for contractors to return later and allows the work to be completed more efficiently. Where possible, existing infrastructure will be used to avoid major excavations in busy central hubs and arterial roads.

Key Details
Timeline: Mid-March to August 2026
Final Phase: Cable installation will take place later in the year
Work Hours: Monday – Sunday, 7:00 am – 7:00 pm (occasionally up to 10:00 pm)
Locations: Westney Road, Kirkbride Road, George Bolt Memorial Drive, and surrounding streets

Impact on Our School Day - Traffic & Parking
Please allow extra time for student drop-offs and pick-ups. Temporary parking restrictions will be in place on Westney Road. We kindly ask parents to follow all signage and exercise patience with other drivers during this period.

Student Safety
Excavation areas will be securely barriered. Parents are encouraged to remind students to stay alert and keep a safe distance from construction zones and heavy machinery when arriving at or leaving school.

We appreciate the cooperation of our school community in helping keep our students safe while these essential upgrades take place in our neighbourhood.

Our annual School Photo Day will take place on Wednesday 11 March. 

On this day, class group photos and individual student photos will be taken. Individual photos are also used for school ID cards and school records. 

All students must come to school in correct school uniform and no make-up is permitted.

If a student does not wish to appear in the class group photo, she may step aside during the group photo session. However, individual ID photos will still be taken for school records.

Please ensure your daughter attends school on this day and arrives prepared for photos.
