To all Newlands Parents.
I write to you as a parent and a teacher to tell you about a strike that is happening on Tuesday November 20 on Universal Children's Day.
Teachers across Victoria will be walking off the job and heading into the city to primarily show our opposition to keeping young children locked up but also protesting about the horror and human rights abuse that is detention.
The rally starts at 2.30 and the AEU have approved the action and the Department of Education have left it up to schools to manage independently. Every teacher that is striking will be taking a half day of unpaid leave.
As parents you can support the strike by keeping your children home on Tuesday or picking them up early or joining us in the city to make our voice stronger.
Cheers, Mel.
