Dear Parents,
You would have heard through the media yesterday that Primary school teachers have voted to take part in a one day strike on Thursday 16 March.
We will join our area school teacher colleagues and principals, primary principals and kindergartens alongside PPTA secondary school teachers in holding joint action across Aotearoa New Zealand. This is a combined workforce of 50,000 people and together our voices will be loud.
Since the majority of our teachers are union members we will be closing school on Thursday 16 March. Oscar will remain open for the day for students who have an existing booking with them.
Please note that our school picnic has been moved from Thursday to Wednesday 15th March, we look forward to seeing you there.
Regards
Fintan, Monique and Sue
