Capital schools switch to remote learning as winds worsen

Schools in the capital region have shifted to remote learning due to worsening weather. The decision affects students in Grades 0–8 on the afternoon shift, with changes taking effect on March 10, 2026.

Rising winds prompted the move to online classes. Officials acted as conditions deteriorated, prioritising student safety. The change applies only to younger pupils scheduled for afternoon lessons.

No official numbers confirm how many schools or institutions have switched. However, the measure covers all affected afternoon sessions across the region.

The temporary shift ensures students stay home during hazardous weather. Classes will resume in person once conditions improve. Schools have notified families about the adjustment.
