The Commissioner for Public Employment and the Australian Education Union NT are in current negotiations on a new NTPS Non-Contract Principals, Teachers and Assistant Teachers’ Enterprise Agreement (EA).
The Department of Education has received formal notification from the NT Branch of the Australian Education Union (AEU) that a full day of planned industrial action will impact all NT schools and worksites this Thursday, 1 September 2022.
All schools will remain open and the bus service will operate as normal.
Every effort will be made to minimise impacts on learning and ensure appropriate supervision is in place for students to ensure their safety and wellbeing. However alternative arrangements during this time, such as modifying timetables and combining classes may be required. Students can anticipate different teachers and staff to supervise them as needed.
Principals across the NT will continue to communicate arrangements for their schools with parents and carers via their regular communications channels.
We thank the school community for your understanding, and we appreciate this action is part of an EBA negotiation process.
We value our dedicated educators, and we know how hard they work to provide education to children across the NT.
