School Closed on Wednesday Afternoon
Important Message from the Principal of Te Totara Primay on behalf of the School Board
I am writing to inform you about a possible disruption to learning on Wednesday next week. There is a potential primary teacher’s strike day planned for next Wednesday 31 May 2023.
It is not certain yet that this will go ahead. Due to ongoing collective agreement negotiations, this strike action has been temporarily paused following a process initiated by the Minister of Education.
A final decision regarding the strike will be made by the N.Z.E.I. (The Primary Teacher’s Union) on Sunday 28 May 2023. The school will not receive any notification of the decision until Sunday evening at the earliest.
I am sending this notice out now to provide an early warning of the possibility of a school closure next Wednesday. Please be assured as soon as a decision is made, either myself or the Board will promptly notify you of the outcome.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. Let's hope this matter gets settled for the sake of our teachers, children, school and our country's education system.
