Term 2 PPTA Industrial Action Planned
Additional PPTA industrial action has been confirmed for Term 2 should teachers and the Government fail to agree on improved pay and working conditions.
Subject to progress in negotiations, a one-day strike will be held for BOP secondary schools, including Aquinas, on Thursday, May 11.
Rolling year-level strikes from weeks two to seven of next term is also planned. The proposed action would occur on the following days:
Thursday, May 4 for Year 11
Tuesday, May 9 for Year 12
Tuesday, May 16 for Year 9
Wednesday, May 17 for Year 10
Thursday, May 25 for Year 11
Tuesday, May 30 for Year 13
Thursday, June 1 for Year 12
Tuesday, June 6 Year 10
Thursday, June 8 for Year 9
The Principal and Board will determine how the school will operate on these days, but you should be prepared for your children to be at home due to the small number of non-union staff at our college.
We appreciate the disruption this causes for many in our community and thank you for your understanding.
