Further update provided in this article, please take the time to read.

The PPTA (teachers’ union) has informed us that its members at our school will be taking partial strike action on Wednesday 5 November.

After carefully considering the availability of non-union staff, the Board has decided that we cannot provide normal instruction during the strike.️ The school will close for instruction at 1:00pm on Wednesday 5 November.

If arranging care for your child is difficult, we can provide supervision for a small number of students who need to remain at school. Please contact Elaine Curtis at [email protected] to let us know if your child/children require supervision.

Buses

ALL Buses will be here to collect students at 1:00pm.

Year 11 Prizegiving

The Year 11 Prizegiving will go ahead as scheduled at 11:00am.

Sport Development Trials

Sports Academy Trials - these are follow-up trials for 2026 Year 9 students, that could not attend the first trial. Trials will commence at 9.30am and run through until 12pm. Students should arrive at Massey High School at 9am to register and be ready to commence at 9.30am.

NCEA Exams 

Scheduled NCEA exams - Exams are supervised by non-teaching staff employed by NZQA, so any strike action will not affect students sitting NCEA exams.
