Dear Parents & Caregivers

Industrial Action – PPTA Teachers’ Strike on Thursday, 16 March

The PPTA has advised the Mangere College School Board that its member teachers at our school will be taking strike action on Thursday, 16 March 2023 from 8.30 am – 3.30 p.m.

The School Board has carefully considered the availability of non-union teaching staff and have decided that we are not able to provide normal instruction during the strike so the school will officially be closed for instruction during the above times.

If making alternative arrangements for care is difficult, we can still supervise a small number of students if required. Please contact the office 275 4029 to indicate if your child/children will need this.

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

Thank you for your understanding. Please contact, Mrs Ah Sam, (our Acting Principal) if you have any queries relating to this decision.

Yours sincerely

Board Presiding Member

on behalf of the Mangere College Board
