13 January 2022 - Reinstatement of Banked Hours Facility

Published: 13 January 2022

esceal I hope that the Christmas break was restful and there was some opportunity to take time for yourselves. The first term was challenging and demanding in equal measure and the current public health reality means that the coming days and weeks could be even more so.

As the professional body for primary principals and deputy principals, IPPN has consistently stated that it will be guided at all times by public health advice. The stated priority has been to ensure that schools stay open as we, as school leaders, know the importance of continuity in the provision of learning experiences and recognise the impact that school closures have on children and families. It was in that context IPPN acknowledged the decision that it was sufficiently safe for schools to reopen.
