Dear Parents and Caregivers
The Post Primary Teachers' Association (PPTA) has informed us about the impact of its strikes, as they affect our school, during the week of Monday 15th Sept – Thursday 18th Sept 2025 (Week 10 of Term 3). The PPTA have advised our board that its member teachers will refuse to teach certain year groups during Term 3, Week 10.
The union refer 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.
It is not lawful for a school board to partially close the school. Our board has decided on the following specific arrangements for students affected by this strike action:
· Monday 15 September – Year 12 & 13 rostered home
· Tuesday 16 September – Year 11 rostered home
· Wednesday 17 September – Year 10 rostered home
· Thursday 18 September – Year 9 rostered home
On the day your child’s year level is rostered home, they are not expected to attend school. All other year levels should attend as normal.
Thank you for your understanding.
