Dear Parents and Whānau
Last week we shared advance notice with you of the PPTA’s intention to hold a nationwide strike on Wednesday 20 August. I can now confirm that official notification of this has been circulated to Secondary Schools and our School Board of Trustees.
As a result, we will not be able to provide normal lessons to students who attend school on Wednesday. Non PPTA teachers will supervise students throughout the school day.
The PPTA has also announced a schedule of partial strikes, meaning union members will not teach, supervise, or instruct students in certain year levels on designated days in the last week of term three. I suggest at this stage it is worth parents and whānau planning to have students rostered home on the following days in that last week of term. The timings of the year levels affected are:
15 September - Years 12 and 13 
16 September - Year 11 
17 September - Year 10 
18 September - Year 9

Whāia te mātauranga. We are learners and part of that means being on time and ready to start the day together. Be present, be punctual, be prepared.

We would like to remind all students to arrive at school on time and proceed straight to their form class when the first bell rings at 8:35am. Form Time begins at 8:40am, and it’s important that everyone is in class by then. A timely and settled start to the day supports a productive learning environment. Once Year 7-12 students have arrived at school in the morning, they must also stay on site for the day.

Thank you for your continued support.
