Ka Rawe te mahi (awesome work) to
We’re standing up for our principal! Today, all over Aotearoa, communities are standing up for their primary and intermediate school prinicpals.
Why? After a long campaign, our teachers recently recieved an offer from the Government that recognised their skills and qualifications, and gave them pay parity with their secondary school colleagues. But the Government refused to do the same for about 2000 principals in primary and intermediate schools.
Principals do an amazing job for their schools and communities, and they deserve a collective agreement offer that reflects their considerable skills and responsibilities. And we need to value and support the role so teachers actually want to become principals – especially in our small and rural schools and kura.
If pay parity is fair for teachers, as the government has acknowledged, then surely it is fair for principals too.
What can we do? School communities are urging the Government to move quickly to propose a settlement that will address the issues that principals face and ensure we can attract and keep excellent leaders in these vital roles.
We will be sending a photo of Richelle and the children to parliment with a letter explaining why we back our principal we would love to have our students and whanau sign it as a sign of support. This will be in our foyer the next few days for all to sign. We will also be displaying a poster and Richelle’s face in our cars and classrooms you are welcome to do the same.
