The NZEI has advised the Board of Trustees that its member principal and teachers at our kura will be taking strike action on Thursday 16 March 2023. 

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

Accordingly, it’s important that you make alternative arrangements for the care of your child/children under 14 years of age during the period of the strike as no supervision can be provided. 

We know 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 the Presiding Member (rebecca@bot.tuahiwi.school.nz) if you have any queries relating to this decision.
