Kia ora koutou,

Industrial Action – PPTA Teachers’ Strike on 16th March 2023.

The PPTA has advised the Geraldine High School Board that its member teachers at our school will be taking strike action on 16 March 2023.

The Board has carefully considered the availability of non-union teaching staff, and unfortunately decided that we can not provide normal instruction during the strike so the school will officially be closed for instruction on the above date.

There will be limited staff available for supervision of students aged under 14 years if you are unable to have them stay at home.

Please ensure that you email office@geraldinehs.school.nz if your child (aged under 14 years) will be requiring supervision. The High School buses will not be running on this day.

We appreciate that this is inconvenient for parents and students alike. Please be assured that student safety is our main concern. Thank you for your understanding.

Please contact office@geraldinehs.school.nz if you have any queries relating to this decision.

Nga mihi,

Sally Prattley

Board of Trustees Chairperson
