Potential Industrial Action - PPTA Teachers' Strike on 29 March 2023 

The PPTA has advised the Katikati College School Board that its member teachers at our school will potentially be participating in a one-day national strike on Wednesday 29 March 2023. 

Subject to progress in mediation, formal notification will be received on Sunday 26 March 2023. This preliminary advice is to assist you in planning that the school will potentially be officially closed for instruction on Wednesday 29 March 2023 for the full school day. Accordingly, it's important that you make alternative arrangements for the care of your child/children under 14 years of age during the period of the strike as no supervision can be provided. 

We know that this is inconvenient for parents and students alike. Please be assured that student safety is our main concern. 

Thank you for your understanding and the community will be informed once formal notification is received that the strike will be proceeding. 

Please contact Louise Buckley ([email protected]) if you have any queries relating to this decision. 

Yours sincerely 

Bobbette Tanner 

Board Presiding Member 

on behalf of the Katikati College School Board
