PPTA – Strike Action

The PPTA (the union) has informed us about the impact of its strikes, as they affect our school, during the week 15-18 September 2025, Week 10 of Term 3.

Kia ora, e te whānau

The PPTA has advised our board that its member teachers will refuse to teach certain year groups during Term 3, Week 10.

The union refers to this as “rostering home”, but while it is lawful for the union to take strike action in which they refuse to teach certain year levels on a given day, it is for our school board to decide what arrangements will be put in place for the affected students. 

Our board has decided that students will be rostered home as set out below.  All other year levels not affected are to attend school as normal:

  • Monday 15 September – Years 12 and 13

  • Tuesday 16 September – Year 11

  • Wednesday 17 September – Year 10

  • Thursday 18 September – Year 9

Thank you for your understanding.  

Yours sincerely

Mason Stretch
