Dear Parents and Carers,
The NSW Teachers Federation has directed its membership to take industrial action in the form of a 24-hour strike on Thursday 30 June 2022. As a result of the strike, we will still be open but will be providing minimal student supervision on this date. Minimal supervision means onsite teaching and learning continues however temporary class structures and a modified timetable are required to meet safety and supervision requirements.
The department has been negotiating with the NSW Teachers Federation since October last year to reach an agreement on the new Teachers Award.
As a department we are considering this change in relation to the Teachers Award, which is next before the Industrial Relations Commission (IRC) on 29 June 2022. Dates have been reserved in October 2022 for the Teachers Award matter to be arbitrated by a full bench of the IRC, and I am hopeful for a swift outcome after this process.
Thank you for your support and understanding during this short period of disruption.
Yours Sincerely
Michelle Elliott
Relieving Principal
