Teachers from Te Totara Primary School in Hamilton will be among those walking off the job on Wednesday.
Close to the entire teaching staff have made the decision to strike alongside thousands of others across the country to push their case for better working conditions.
The Rototuna school has been forced to close for the day, but principal Brian Sheedy said if it was not now, the situation would only get worse.

School buses and other bus users will be affected today (Tuesday 14th August) by a last-minute strike.

Around 120 bus drivers will walk off the job on Tuesday, according to a statement from FIRST Union.

The union says drivers from Hamilton, Otorohanga, and Te Awamutu are striking due to low pay and bad conditions.

All Orbiter services will run as normal, Busit said in an online post.

All regional services (to and from Huntly, Raglan, Cambridge, Te Awamtu, Morrinsville and Paeroa) will operate as normal.

There will be no service on the 29 Hamilton Gardens service all day.

The CBD Shuttle will run with one bus, instead of two, with service every 15 - 20 minutes.

See all other Hamilton services that will be affected here.

Awesome news that two of our riders Cailen Calkin & Jessie Smith have been chosen to compete at the Youth Olympics, so we need our community to pull together & help these two young riders get there!
If you can sponsor them or make a donation towards their costs would be gratefully received.
Please contact the club: hamiltonbmx@xtra.co.nz

Multi-world age group champions Jessie Smith and Cailen Calkin, both from the Waikato, are part of the five-strong New Zealand cycling team to compete at the Youth Olympic Games in Argentina.

The athletes will compete in the 13-day Games at Buenos Aires from 6-18 October in a team comprising BMX, mountain bike and road riders.


Smith was the 16 years BMX world champion in 2017 and ninth in her first year as a junior elite in 2018.

Calkin, a three-time Challenge world champion, was a quarterfinalist in the junior elite (under-19) category this year.


At the Youth Olympic Games the pair will compete in the BMX racing against other riders of the same sex, with their results to be combined as medals are awarded to the team with the most points.


The pair are joined by three mountain-bike riders (who also have road experience), Samara (Sammie) Maxwell (Taupo), Phoebe Young (Wanaka) and Max Taylor (Palmerston North).


Maxwell is the national under-19 mountain bike champion while Young is the Oceania under-19 winner and also New Zealand under-19 road time trial champion.


Taylor, the 2017 under-17 mountain bike champion, has also enjoyed success as a road rider.


The mountain bike/road riders will race in a criterium, time trial and road race (road cycling) with an eliminator and short track races for mountain bike.
Maxwell and Young will compete as a team in the female division. In the male division Taylor will compete alongside Calkin.


“The Youth Olympic Games is an important international stage for our young riders to experience the Olympic values and to both experience and understand the challenges of a vast multisport global competition,” said Cycling New Zealand HP Athlete Development Lead, Graeme Hunn.


“The International Olympic Committee continue to use this competition to incorporate fresh ideas and new sports, several of which have flowed through to international and Olympic events.”


This time we believe the competitions are really beneficial to our developing riders and we have selected a strong group of outstanding young people who we believe will acquit themselves well in and out of competition.”
“Well done to all of these athletes for all the hard work they’ve put in to make it to this point.”


New Zealand has an extremely proud cycling history at both Olympic and Commonwealth Games level and we look forward to these athletes becoming part of that legacy.”


The 2018 Youth Olympic Games will be the third edition of the summer youth Games. The Games are a pre-elite development opportunity for the world’s most promising young athletes, allowing them to experience a multi-sport games environment while exposing them to learning and cultural opportunities and helping them on the performance pathway.
