Industrial Action Teachers’ Strikes

Thank you for your patience regarding teacher union actions. Next week the PPTA plans two Rostering Home strikes whereby one year level is not taught on a particular day.

We remain open if we can do so safely, with sufficient staff onsite to teach.

• Tuesday 16 May, Year 9 strike:
  We can remain open for instruction for Year 9. This means all of KingsWay School will be open on this day.
• Wednesday 17 May, Year 10 strike:
  We cannot remain open for instruction for Year 10 students. KingsWay School will remain open for all other year levels on this day.
  Year 10 students are not expected at school on this day and are encouraged to continue with their learning at home. The library is open to receive a limited number of students who cannot secure alternative care options for the day of the strike. Should a student attend school, their attendance will be recorded and they are expected to wear school uniform and remain on school grounds for the entire day. Normal school behaviour expectations apply. We will remain open as normal for all other year levels across the school.

The proposed Rostering Home schedule continues until the end of Week 7. We will continue to keep you updated each week.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Claydon
KingsWay School BOT Chair
