We have received confirmation from NZ PPTA that further strike action will proceed as planned. This means that on the below days, the students indicated will not be taught or have work set for them by union members. To ensure the safety of all students, the School Board will be rostering home the year levels impacted on the following days: · Thursday 4 May – Year 11 · Tuesday 9 May – Year 12 · Tuesday 16 May – Year 9 · Wednesday 17 May – Year 10 · Thursday 1 June – Year 12 · Tuesday 6 June – Year 10 · Thursday 8 June – Year 9Families who require their children to be onsite will need to let attendance@bdsc.school.nz know so a register can be maintained for safety purposes. Students coming in will be supervised in the library by non-union staff members. They will need to bring their personal learning devices with them to undertake individual and independent learning. Further regional action is planned for Thursday 11 May where union members will take strike action for the full day (Years 9-13). We will keep you updated as we receive formal notification from NZ PPTA.
