Events

Your Events feed shows everything coming up at all your schools and centres, grouped into Today, Tomorrow, Later This Week, Next Week and so on. Events you've marked as favourites appear at the top.

New Zealand public holidays, including your region's anniversary day, appear in the feed too. They follow the region set in Profile & Settings.
