You may be aware of planned industrial action by the PPTA (Secondary teachers’ union) and NZEI (Primary teachers union). At this date negotiations between the teacher unions and the Ministry of Education have not been resolved. Owing to the large number of teachers who are union members we will have no choice in terms of Health and Safety but to close both schools on 16 March should the strike go ahead.

The Year 7 MHJC Camp for Mountains and Coast Whānau will proceed uninterrupted.

We wanted to give you advance notice so that you can make arrangements to supervise your child/ren for that
day.

Mission Kids will be running a full day supervised program – contact Paul paul@silvereyekids.org.nz to book.
