Remuera Intermediate has told parents to keep their kids home today after illness left the Auckland school without enough teachers. Photo \/ Google Streetview<\/p>\n

An Auckland school has told parents to keep their kids at home today because too many teachers are sick.<\/p>\n

In a notice to parents yesterday, Remuera Intermediate said it no longer had enough teachers for all classes.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cDue to an exceptionally high number of staff absences, we can no longer
\n ensure adequate cover for all classes tomorrow (Friday).\n <\/p>\n

\u201cWe know this is very short notice, but if you are able to supervise your child at home tomorrow, please do so. This will greatly help our remaining team and give our sick staff time to recover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendance records of children kept home wouldn\u2019t be affected, and students could still use online teaching resources, the school wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NZ Herald 27 Aug, 2026 08:45 PMQuick Read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require a Premium…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":582448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[806,31036,51,17517,1061,3592,42,1345,154910,809,1899,5829,43,3766,23497,4062,27916,18843,165,61,1865,6859,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-582447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-as","tag-asks","tag-auckland","tag-because","tag-children","tag-fall","tag-headlines","tag-home","tag-intermediate","tag-keep","tag-kids","tag-many","tag-news","tag-parents","tag-remuera","tag-school","tag-sick","tag-teachers","tag-their","tag-to","tag-today","tag-told","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=582447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=582447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=582447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=582447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
