A number of things taking place on Friday 20th 6th Year Higher options – there will be no scheduled classes for 6th year as most are attending. The library will be open if non attendees want to study. Staff Meeting – classes for all will finish at 1:05 to facilitate a staff meeting “ School Strike for Climate Action” - global day of action Mount Temple as a school is very supportive of the issues that students are seeking to highlight, and of the student action that is taking place. At the same time, and as you can appreciate, we cannot engage in something that does not take account of the freedom of learners; nor can we, as a school authority, “sanction” a school strike. Nevertheless, we also see this as a learning moment, one perhaps in which students can learn how to effectively protest for change. If students wish to attend, permission to leave must be supplied via the APP on or before Wednesday 18th, then students sign out with a designated teacher at 11:05 Friday. We really need your cooperation with this to facilitate the smooth running of the school and the safety of all on Friday. Notes, texts, phone calls cannot be accepted on the day. Please discuss the climate issue with your child and the merits of attending the strike,download the APP if you haven’t already done so and submit permission form.
