Update for families – Friday 30 October 2026

Student learning will continue as usual on Friday 30 October. No action is required by families, and drop-off and collection times remain unchanged at both campuses.

 

The College has received notice from the Independent Education Union (IEU) of further protected industrial action as part of the ongoing enterprise agreement negotiations. We respect the right of staff to participate in protected industrial action and remain committed to working constructively towards an agreement.

 

Participating IEU members will stop work during Home Group periods at the following times:

 

  • Yirramboi: 8.20 am - 8.40 am and 3.15 pm - 3.35 pm.

  • Canowindra: 8.40 am - 9.00 am and 3.10 pm - 3.30 pm.

 

As the action coincides with Year 12 examination, we have confirmed arrangements with the IEU and  they have provided reassurance that Year 12 exams will not be impacted. Staff have also been reminded to keep examination areas and their surroundings quiet and free from distractions, supporting students to focus and do their best.

 

Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff and College community.
