Posted on Thursday April 8, 2021 at 3:55 PM – NISS School Closure:
Due to Health and Safety precautions, North Island Secondary School will be closed to staff and students on Friday April 9, 2021. The reason for this closure is a serious plumbing issue.
At the end of the school day on Thursday April 8, 2021 there was a blockage in the sewage pipes. Although the maintenance teams and outside contractors are working hard to fix the issue there will still be the clean up job and airing out of the school to occur.
Have a safe weekend. We expect school to resume as normal on Monday April 12.
Carol Robertson
Superintendent of Schools
