It depends on what newspaper you read. Gulf News (which is the most unreliable paper) is the only one reporting that this rule applies to 'expat' schools. Every other newspaper is reporting that it only applies to local government and private schools. Wellington have said that as far as they are aware, they will be returning on the 6th (?) as planned.

But, as a disclaimer, I have to say you get used to getting text messages at 10pm the night before that school has been cancelled for the next day. They do like to close the schools on a whim here which is out of the control of individual schools. I'm still planning on a return on the 6th until I hear differently direct from the school.
