Industrial Action

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

The Australian Education Union has called on its members to take strike action on Tuesday 24 March 2026.

 

Based upon the information provided to me, a large number of our staff will be taking part in the strike action. As a consequence: 

 

  • Students are not required to attend on this day. Families are encouraged to make alternative arrangements for your child/ren if you are able to do so.

 

  • If you require your child to attend school on this day, there may have to be modifications to your child's normal program supported by unfamiliar and replacement staff.

 

If this will cause you difficulties, in particular if you are a critical services worker, please get in touch via the school office as soon as possible.

 

As you are aware, all students at Jackson School have an intellectual disability and other high/complex needs. Whilst we will make every effort to make adequate,  appropriate and alternative supervision arrangements, it is our priority that have reasonable adjustments to meet their needs to ensure the safety of other students and remaining staff onsite. If staffing levels prevent us from safely supervising all students for the full day, we may contact families and request early collection of your child.

 

Thank you for your flexibility, understanding and support as always.  

 

Anthony Jackson

 

Principal

Jackson School
