Date • 1 min read
In observance of Waitangi Day, ELA will be closed on Tuesday 6th February 2024, which means that there will be no classes on the day.
Waitangi Day holds immense significance in New Zealand's history, commemorating the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. It's a day of reflection, celebration, and unity, honouring the partnership between the indigenous Māori people and the Crown.
There will be lots of free activities and events happening on the day. Search “Waitangi” on the [Our Auckland events page](https://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/events/?fbclid=IwAR25MTjnLhvBF3QeQ-KFFT4uaZutRxXmhOwFShN9fapzNkYu5P07va7qM9U).
