Kia ora KingsGate Whaanau,

With the upcoming education sector industrial action, I would like to remind our community that KingsGate School has teachers represented by two different unions, NZEI Te Riu Roa (for our Primary School teachers, Years 1–6) and the PPTA (for our High School teachers, Years 7–11).

We have now received formal notification from NZEI of a full-day strike on Thursday, 23 October. This means that students in Years 1–6 will not be taught on that day, and parents will need to make suitable arrangements for their children as the school cannot accommodate them. 

It is also highly likely that the PPTA will give formal notice of strike action for the same day, though I cannot confirm this until I receive official notification from them.

The School Board has decided that KingsGate School will close on Thursday, 23rd October, should both unions formally confirm strike action. I will update you as soon as I receive confirmation from the PPTA.

Thank you for your understanding and planning ahead for this disruption.

Ngā mihi nui,

Jared Stein

Principal
