Academic Review Day – May 10
What is the day? ARD is our equivalent of ‘Parent-Teacher’ interviews. The main goal of the day is to have the students talking about how things are going this year, any issues that need to be addressed and goals created for the rest of the year. It is also a great time to discuss anything important related to life at school. Throughout the day teachers will have multiple appointments with parents and students.
We are aware that May 9th is a Strike day but we also feel that Academic Review Day is worth keeping it where it is. Early next week the booking system will be sent out to parents. Parents will have the ability to book appointments with as many teachers as required and each appointment slot will be 10 mins. Parents will receive a confirmation email and a reminder email May 9. The office will also be able to book appointments via the phone, if needed.
This is what the booking system will look like:
Industrial Action
So far the Teachers Union and the Ministry of Education have not yet reached an agreement regarding teacher employment. Industrial action is ongoing and we have included the dates of year levels affected below. There is also a Strike Day on Tuesday May 9th where we will be closed for instruction as the majority of our staff are Union members and the school will not be able to operate.

The hoodie will be held in the school office and returned at the end of the day. School socks are available for those struggling to find socks without logos.
