Dear Parents, Carers and Families,

In correspondence from the Australian Education Union, '79% of school members have voted to accept the state government’s 10 August 2026 VGSA offer, with 89% of eligible members participating in our union’s democratic decision-making process'. As a result, we wish to advise our parents/carers that the potential AEU Strike Day of Action to be held on this Wednesday, 19th August will not be going ahead. Jacana School for Autism will be operating as usual.
