Parents have been told there will be minimal supervision at NSW public schools on Monday morning.

Parents have been told there will be minimal supervision at public schools on Monday morning as up to 58,000 teachers are removed from classes to attend a union stop-work meeting.

NSW Teachers Federation president Henry Rajendra said members will hold a stop-work meeting on Monday to hear details of award negotiations.Many schools have told parents there will be “minimal supervision arrangements” until 10am, while several schools said normal lessons will only resume from 10.30am.

Rajendra said the time classes resume will depend on the travel time for teachers returning from the venues. “This important matter should be held during work hours as has been our long-standing practice,” he said. The NSW Education Department and union agreed to negotiate a new three-year award when the varied award expired.

“Students sitting their HSC exams will not be impacted as invigilators are not covered, and there is a long-standing convention class teachers will be there for students as they go into their exams,” they said.
