Striking? Wear a mask.

Taha tinana - physical health/the body.
Taha whānau - belonging - community & family.

It's not just about salary, it's about working conditions. At ACA we believe teachers and students deserve clean air classrooms, adequate sick leave, and access to vaccines and antivirals. We don't accept the "new normal" of constant sickness and teachers quitting the profession due to Long Covid.
