Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As you are probably aware, New Zealand teachers are currently involved in collective agreement negotiations and are taking strike action. The Board of Trustees is unable to provide teaching for students during the upcoming strike. 

The NZEI has advised the Clearview Board of Trustees that the principal and teachers at our school will be taking full day strike action on Wednesday 15 August 2018. 

The Board has carefully considered the availability of teaching staff, and unfortunately decided that we can’t provide the normal teaching services during the strike.   Therefore, school will be closed.

It’s important that you make alternative arrangements for the care of your child/children on the day of the strike.   If this is difficult, some supervision could be organised for a small number of students.   This will be available in exceptional circumstances only.  Please contact the office immediately if your child/children will need this. 

We know that this is inconvenient for parents and students alike, but please be assured that student safety is our main concern. Thank you for your understanding. 

Yours sincerely,
Nick Cairns

BOT Chairperson
