Teachers' Union meeting - Tuesday 26 June

Kia ora whanau

Please could you read this note regarding the upcoming NZEI meeting.

A reminder that the Board of Trustees have been advised by the teachers union, NZEI, that there will be a union meeting on Tuesday 26 June at 2:00pm. This is around the teachers pay claim but also around wider educational issues such as recruitment and retainment of teachers throughout New Zealand.  Meetings were held in March for teachers who were part of the union.  Due to multiple meetings being held over different days we were able to stagger teachers attendance at these and employ relievers for classes so there was minimal disruption to the running of the school.

In June there is only one meeting being planned for Christchurch so we will have to ask parents to collect their children at 12:30pm on this afternoon. 

We will have a small number of staff still at school on this afternoon, to cater for those families who are unable to collect their children before 3:00pm; however the more parents who are able to collect their children on this day will enable us to manage the remaining children more effectively. We will keep you updated if there is any change to this situation.  

Ngā mihi nui
