Dear Parents and Caregivers
Regarding: PPTA Union meeting Tuesday, 22 February, 2022
This is to notify you that the Garin College branch of the Post Primary Teachers Association (PPTA) has advised the Board of Trustees that teachers will exercise their right to attend a Paid Union Meeting on the afternoon of Tuesday, 22 February, 2022.
Students will therefore be released from class at 12:50pm on that day and we are advising you to take your learner home for the afternoon, if at all possible.
The school will remain open in the afternoon and we will supervise any students attending.
If your learner is going to remain at school please advise the school by emailing our Attendance Officer attendance@cloud.garincollege.ac.nz or phone the college on: 03 543 9488 by Thursday, 17 February.
Students remaining at school are to meet after lunch, 1.30pm in the Gym.
MOE buses with Waimea College will leave from Garin College at 1.05pm (to be at Waimea College bus bay at 1.15pm) and the Garin Express will leave at 1.05pm. Please see specific bus details below.
We appreciate the inconvenience that this may place on you and your learner, however we have a contractual obligation to release staff for this meeting.
Thank you for your assistance
Yours sincerely
