Teachers Strike Wednesday 29 May

As reported by the media recently, teachers in both unions -NZEI (Primary) and PPTA (Secondary), have voted in favour of planned industrial action on Wednesday 29 May.

Teachers across New Zealand believe offers made by the Ministry to date have not adequately addressed the current crisis in staffing, resourcing, recruiting and retaining of teachers in the profession to provide the best education for our children.

Taking into consideration the number of staff involved in the strike action and the safety of the children, the Board of Trustees has decided to fully support the school teaching staff and will, therefore, close the school for instruction on Wednesday 29 May.

Closing the school for any period of time is not a decision we have made lightly but we cannot compromise the safety of our students, which we are sure you understand.

‘Andy’s Afterschool Care’ have offered to open a holiday programme on Wednesday 29 May to support parents.

Please make direct contact with Sandy on 027 288 0731 or by email at sandy@andyseducare.co.nz

Thank you in advance for making alternative arrangements for your child on Wednesday 29 May.

 

Kind regards

Nick Mackeson-Smith

Board Chair

据媒体报道，最近，工会 – NZEI（小学）和 PPTA（中学）的教师投票赞成计划在5月29日星期三举行罢工行动。

 

新西兰各地的教师认为，教育部迄今提出的建议并没有充分解决当前职业教师的人员配备，资源配置，招聘和留用危机，以便为我们的孩子提供最好的教育。

 

考虑到参与罢工行动的教职人员数量和儿童的安全问题，董事会决定全力支持学校教职人员，并且将于5月29日星期三停课一天。

 

关闭学校，停课一天并不是个容易的决定，但我们不能不考虑学生的安全问题，我们相信您能理解。

 

‘ Andy’s Afterschool Care ‘ 将于5月29日星期三，开放一天的假期活动以帮助父母方便托管小孩。

 

请致电 027 288 0731 或发送电子邮件至sandy@andyseducare.co.nz 与 Sandy 直接联系

 

感谢您提前为5月29日星期三的孩子们做出其他安排。

 

亲切的问候
