The Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts wishes to inform teachers, students and parents that a heavy rain warning is in force for the whole of the Fiji Group.

Parents and/or guardians in flood affected areas are advised to use their discretion in sending their children to school. Students living in low lying areas and flood prone areas are advised to remain at home, while those living in unaffected zones are urged to exercise caution when traveling to school.

Teachers who are unable to report to work today due to flooding are requested to make arrangements with their Heads of Schools.

The safety and well-being of our students and teachers is paramount.

Parents and students are advised to follow the weather bulletin for further updates and keep themselves well informed of any weather developments and/or changes.
