Curtin Primary School

📢 REMINDER - All ACT public schools are CLOSED this Thursday 11 June 📢

In order to enable industrial action and keep students safe all ACT public schools, including specialist schools and preschools, are CLOSED this Thursday.

The Education Directorate has decided to close schools to students for the day in the interest of student and staff safety.

The Australian Education Union has notified the Education Directorate that its members will take part in protected industrial action on Thursday. We expect a majority of ACT public school staff will participate in the work stoppage, meaning we are unable to confidently plan for safe and appropriate supervision for all students.

Be aware there will be no onsite supervision available for students on Thursday.

If you have any questions or concerns about how this closure impacts your school, please contact your school directly.

We acknowledge that school closures have significant impacts on families and these decisions are not taken lightly. The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff remains our highest priority.

Good morning, due to the weather this morning we will be postponing our reconciliation walk. We will update our new proposed date shortly. Thank you! ☔️💧

As we approach winter and the colder weather, we remind families that if your child becomes unwell to please not send them to school until their symptoms have resolved.

This winter we are again expecting to see a higher number of staff away due to seasonal illness, as will be the case across all workplaces. While these short-term absences cannot be entirely avoided, we can all play our part in minimising the spread of disease by doing the right thing.

Unfortunately, short-term staff absences due to illness can have an impact on the way we run our schools – and in some cases schools may need to temporarily adjust the delivery of programs in order to manage. These temporary adjustments support schools to ensure student learning is not impacted, and if any changes are made your school will keep you updated.

Please be assured that we are continuing to prioritise recruitment and retention of highly skilled teachers across all of our schools.

If you have any questions about operations at your school please contact your school directly. For more information about our schools visit https://bit.ly/42d9eiL.
