Kia ora whānau,
We have been advised by NZEI Te Riu Roa that they have called for a full-day strike for all members covered by the Primary and Intermediate School Teachers’ Collective Agreement and the Support Staff in Schools’ Collective Agreement.
The official notice of strike action has been made.
As this strike action involves both teaching and support staff, we will not have the required number of staff on-site to ensure the health, safety, and adequate supervision of our students.
After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees has made the decision to close the school for instruction on the day of the strike.
Strike Day: Thursday 23rd October
School Status: Closed for instruction for all students
We understand that this may cause some inconvenience for families and appreciate your understanding and support during this time.
Normal school operations will resume on Friday 24th October
