First there was a petition by the parents of the Alexandra School. Now the students have one too.
The WEEKEND NATION has learned that 789 of the 824 students at the St Peter-based secondary school have signed their names to a document they intend to officially present to their principal Jeff Broomes today, urging teachers to return to work immediately.
The students have been the ones directly affected by the industrial action of more than 30 members of the teaching staff who have withdrawn their services since last Wednesday, the first day of the second school term.
A number of the school’s senior students, most of them prefects, continue to find ways of keeping things going at the school in the absence of teachers, having decided to help with the supervision of classes for first, second and third formers.
Read the full story in today’s WEEKEND NATION.
