Scope of last week’s action

The ACT Government’s notice covered one-hour stoppages from 8:30 to 9:30 am at different public schools on October 19–23. Minimum supervision and closures varied by school, with separate preschool and transport arrangements. Those dates have passed and must not be presented as the schedule for the week starting October 26.

Reporting and unresolved developments

Region Canberra reported from the October 21 action in Dickson and elsewhere. Teachers discussed replacement staffing and administrative burdens, while the government described continuing negotiations. A possible later full-day strike is not a confirmed territory-wide closure date. Neither a settlement nor universal school closure is established here.

Planning for Taiwanese families

Taiwanese families studying or arranging exchanges in the ACT should check their own school’s latest attendance, supervision, transport and activity notices. The image is an archive photograph of Dickson College, not the demonstration.
