Most South Canterbury primary schools to close on November 15
Almost all South Canterbury primary schools will close on November 15 in support of their teachers taking part in a nationwide strike.
Those teachers will take part in a public protest on State Highway 1 on the same day, New Zealand Educational Institute Te Riu Roa (NZEI) national executive representative, and Pleasant Point-based teacher, Barbara Curran said.
At this stage Timaru Christian School and Waihi School will stay open on the day while Winchester Rural School, Beaconsfield School, Barton Rural School and Grantlea Downs have yet to confirm whether they will be open or closed.
This is the second strike for the year, and most of the same issues from the first strike are the focus for this one, Curran said.
