Teachers vote for joint strike on May 2019

John Schnackenberg —

Below is a message from the Board of Trustees.

The PPTA has advised the Katikati College Board of Trustees that teachers at our school will be taking strike action on Wednesday May 29, 2019. The Board of Trustees cannot provide teaching for students during the upcoming strike.

The Board has carefully considered the availability of teaching staff, and unfortunately decided that we cannot provide the normal teaching services during the strike so the school will officially be closed for instruction for the whole day.

Accordingly, it is important that you make appropriate alternative arrangements for the care of your child/children during the period of the strike as no supervision can be provided. Please note our school buses will not be operating on this day.

I 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. Please contact principal@katikaticollege.school.nz if you have any queries relating to this decision.
