Dear Parents and Caregivers,

On Wednesday 8th May, our school will be attending another NZEI Te Riu Roa paid union meeting regarding the Kua Tae Te Wā - It’s Time campaign.  The campaign aims to free teachers to teach and principals to lead, by getting the additional support and staff that schools need.  The meetings will allow our teachers to discuss how the Ministry of Education has responded to changes that the union is seeking.

Our teaching staff are members of NZEI and legally entitled to attend this meeting.  The teachers will be leaving school on Wednesday 8th May, to attend their paid union meeting which starts at 2pm.

We ask parents to make arrangements to pick their child(ren) up from school by 1.00pm on Wednesday 8th May.  If you are unable to pick your children up then, please advise us so that your children can be supervised until 2:45pm.

We appreciate that this creates some inconvenience for families.  However, please support your teachers as they strive to achieve the changes which will safeguard quality education for all children and ensure we make teaching an attractive profession for graduates.

Anyone who may need help with arrangements should contact the office.

Regards

Parkview Team
