SCHOOLS UPDATE: Minimal supervision arrangements for ACT public schools and preschools, 9am-11am, Thursday 17 September

ACT public schools will be operating under minimal supervision from 9am to 11am on Thursday 17 September 2026.

Families may wish to keep their children at home during that time, but minimal supervision will be available for those who need to attend.

Regular teaching and learning will begin at 11am.

The arrangement is to support Australian Education Union members to attend a paid time meeting to consider the ACT Government’s September 10 pay and conditions offer for teachers, school leaders and school psychologists.

The ACT Government appreciates your understanding and support. We remain committed to working collaboratively with staff and unions to reach an outcome that supports our workforce and continues to deliver high-quality public education for ACT students.

UCHS Kaleen took a group of 13 Year 9/10 girls to the NSW 9s Country Cup in Week 2. The girls impressed with the efforts and behaviours as they played some tough footy against some very strong teams from country NSW and Sydney. While the results didn’t go their way and there were a few sore heads and bodies the day after, it was a positive experience for them all.

The girls engaged in a YOUi Scrum Community seminar about mental health talk, led by Alan Tongue. They also had a photo with the Provan-Summons Trophy (NRL Premiership trophy) and the NRL Women’s Premiership Trophy- perhaps there’s a few NRLW stars in the making pictured.

Well done to our Year 9/10 girls rugby league team. They should be proud of how they represented the school and themselves.
