REMINDER: School Closure - Teacher Strike Wednesday 15 August 2018
REMINDER: School Closure - Teacher Strike
Wednesday 15 August 2018
Dear Parents and Caregivers
The Board of Trustees cannot provide
teaching for students during the upcoming strike. The NZEI has advised the
Ashburton Netherby Board of Trustees that the principal and teachers at our
school will be taking strike action from 7:00am to 7:00pm on Wednesday 15
August 2018.
The Board has carefully considered the
availability of teaching staff, and unfortunately decided that we can’t provide
the normal teaching services during the strike. The school will need to close
during this strike.
It is important that you make alternative
arrangements for the care of your child/children on the day of the strike, as
the school will be CLOSED.
I know that this is inconvenient for
parents and students alike, but please be assured that student safety is our
main concern in making this decision.
Thank you for your understanding. Please
contact me if you have any queries relating to this decision.
Yours sincerely,
Board Chair
Jason Adamson
