  1. Welcome ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2011

  2. AGENDA

  3. NORTHERN WARD REPORTLynley Hunter, Northern Ward Convenor 2010 (now Chair of Auckland Region) • The 2010 Ward Convenor was Lynley Hunter of Albany Junior High School. • Narandra Uka (Northcote College) was co-opted as the other ward representative and he has been elected Ward Convenor for 2011. • Austen Pageau was co-opted to be the ward YANTs rep and this year has been elected as the YANTs Rep for the Auckland Region. • No nominations for the Te Reo-a-Rohe position – a concern that the Northern Ward has no Maori representation on the ARMC.

  4. Ward meetings were held sporadically - not well attended. • Variety of issues facing branches, shared experience and practical solutions with each other discussed. • New branch chairs found the advice available to them at ward meetings invaluable. • Ward meetings continue to be an integral part of the union’s organisation and I urge all Northern Ward branches to send arepresentative or two to the next meeting. • Erin Polachuk, our Field Officer, farewelled • David Fowlie to the new Northern ward Field officer. His wisdom and experience has been greatly appreciated by those members who have sought his help. • Barbara Hill is finishing work as an Auckland Field Officer at the end of this term. We wish her well in her retirement and welcome Georgia Bates to the team.

  5. Two paid union meetings were held in 2010. Our thanks to Westlake Boys and Rangitoto College for hosting these meetings. • Jonathan Jaffrey (Long Bay College), the Northern Ward representative on National Executive for 2010, is taking leave in 2011. We thank him for his tireless efforts on behalf of the ward and wish him well for his endeavours this year. • Sue McVeigh from Birkenhead College has taken up the mantle and is proving to be equally hard-working representing our interest on Exec.

  6. Motion 2: PPTA members withdraw support from all extra- & co-curricular activities. • Mover: Henry Beaven • Seconder: Jane Griffin • Motion PASSED • Motion 3: To stop printing the PPTA magazine and instead send an –mail/electronic copy to members. The money saved on this could be diverted to the campaign. • Mover: Michelle Altena • Seconder: M Gillies • BDSC • Motion HELD OVER to next Regional Meeting

  7. Motion 4: That PPTA members should change the proposed plan of action in the following ways in order to achieve greater impact in pursuit of our proposed settlement. • The meeting ban be dropped as it is only an irritation to us. • That rostering home proposal be abandoned as it achieves very little. • That a national strike of at least 3 days be held. Mover: Peter Thomson Seconder: SharynMeffin Howick College Motion HELD OVER to next Regional Meeting

  8. Motion 5: Assessments are set/administered/marked and recorded but not forwarded to NZQA. Mover: Robert Bartholemew Seconder: Alan Taylor Botany Downs Motion HELD OVER to next Regional Meeting Motion 6: That internal assessments be set, administered and sent to NZQA for marking. Mover: Helen Spear Seconder: Robert Bartholemew Botany Downs Motion HELD OVER to next Regional Meeting

  9. NORTHERN WARD That PPTA members stop the Marking and Administration of internal assessments for NCEA at the start of term 2 2011 if the STCA is not settled by the end of term 1 2011.movedPeter Pearce secondedMark Clarke[Glenfield College]

  10. WESTERN WARD • “That the Auckland Region co-ordinate an “Adopt-a-Branch” support initiative for PPTA members in Christchurch.” Moved:  AllayneFerguson Seconded Nici Green (both from the Western Springs College Branch).

  11. NORTHCOTE COLLEGEREMIT • Motion that: 1)       Any claim for a base scale increase is withdrawn (4% or otherwise) 2)       No changes are made to the salary scale 3)       Instead: We propose that i)                     All teachers of students Y9 to Y13 are given an External Qualifications Allowance which is fixed in monetary value to the value of 1 Management Unit as stated in the Collective Agreement at the time. AND ii)                   That any increase in the value of Management Units negotiated by NZEI independently of the PPTA also applies to the value of the External Qualifications allowance.

  12. The reasoning: 1)       Whilst this does not fix past issues, it does remove further G3 and Primary – trained inequalities resulting from proposed adjustments to the salary scale. 2)       It provides targeted remuneration for workload issues related to internal assessment setup, preparation, moderation and marking. (For external assessments all this is paid for by NZQA/Cambridge University/I.B. and markers are remunerated). 3)       Teachers of Years 9 and 10 need to be included as they are generating, setting and marking/moderating tasks and assessments in the same style as the external qualification assessments and therefore have the same workload issues. (Some Y9 and 10 students even sit the external exams). Also, their work is critical in preparing Y9 and Y10 students for success in the External Qualifications through specialist teaching of subject content.

  13. EPSOM GIRLS GRAMMAR Motion 3: electronic PPTA news. 71 For; 1 Against; 1 Abstain Motion 4: We felt void because we had already had a National vote on whether or not to roster home etc. Motion 5: Not send results to NZQA. 27 For; 30 Against; 16 Abstain Motion 6:  Asking NZQA to mark Internals. 1 For; 66 Against; 6 Abstain Steve Nowell EGGS Branch Chair

  14. CARMEL COLLEGERESPONSE TO REMITS Hi therePlease accept my apology for being unable to attend tonight.We have discussed as a branch the motions presented from the Eastern Ward meeting and from Northcote.Our feelings as a branch on the Eastern Ward Motions are:ONE: We do not support thisTWO: We would support this in the long term but not as an action at this point in the campagin.THREE:  We support this motionWe do not support the motion put forward by the Northcote branch.

  15. As a branch we have discussed that there are problems in the structure of the pay scale.  However we feel strongly that those are side issues and must be dealt with separately or at another time from this round of negotiations.  It appears that branches are trying to come up with ideas for a restructuring of the payscale that would cater to those members that have perhaps been a little left behind with the proposal that we voted to support at the PUM's - we think that these issues need to be dealt with separately and that we need to stick with the course of action voted on at the PUMKind regards and best wishes for a successful meeting tonightRenee Atkins - Carmel College
