Industrial Action – NZEI Teachers’ Strike on Thursday 16 March

The NZEI has advised the Long Bay School Board that its member teachers at our school will be taking strike action on 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 school will officially be closed for instruction on this day. Accordingly, it is important that you make alternative arrangements for the care of your child/children on the day of the strike as no supervision can be provided by the school.

The Kelly Club will offer supervision for the day if you require it. Reservations can be made by following this link. 

We know that this is inconvenient for parents and students alike. Please be assured that student safety is our main concern. As a Board we carefully considered the implications of closing the school again this term given the disruptions we have experienced already and remain committed to achieving successful outcomes for our students .

Thank you for your understanding. 

Yours sincerely Autumn Facer on behalf of the Long Bay School Board
