Gaye Parlane commented on Marcia Murphy's blog post 'Support Staff may be replaced with students'

John the knee jerk reaction is from you!! This is a fact in ChCh that support staff are having their hours reduced and students are required to do the work eg working in the Library. I agree that the interaction with students assisting is great but…

Support Staff Day. "Canterbury style"

The earthquake in June meant we were unable to celebrate Support Staff Day like the rest of the country so we are having our very own day on Tuesday 27th September. Our Gorgeous and Glam Dinner at the Chateau on the Park is going to be fantastic and a chance for all us special Support Staff here in Christchurch to celebrate the wonderful work we all do in schools. See you there!!

Term 4 upon us already!

Hope everyone has had a good start to the term. To all the Support Staff who attended Annual Meeting it was great to catch up with you all. 2011 is another important year for Support Staff as we face our negotiations with this government again. It's great to start talking to Support Staff colleagues about our claims for next year. Best wishes for a successful term. - It's always a busy one :).

As a colleague I would like to thank firstly your husband for his support to you and secondly to your school Principal for the support they have given. Gaye your and your team are great.

At 11:01pm on September 16, 2009, Vicki Signal said…: Hi Gaye
Good luck for the 23/24 September. We are having a meeting in Hamilton tomorrow to bring our members up to speed. We will forward our messages of support and hopefully sign up some new members to the Fair Deal! site.
Keep up the great work.

At 1:31pm on August 9, 2009, Linda Jordan said…: Thanks Gaye, it certainly was a joint effort and went off so well. Believe me I had a week long headache worrying about it all but the role of MC was great and gave me a chance to tell our members and supporters just how I felt. When I heard there was approx 270 people I almost cried, I was talking to them all and showing my passion. We had the strings of this and took them whole heartedly from start to finish.
My partner, daughter and grandson came to support us and even came to West Auckland with me too. It was a great day and one I will not forget in a hurry.
See you in a few weeks.

At 7:17pm on July 24, 2009, Monique Jansonius-Albers said…: You are just too cute for words....mwaah.

Keep up the fantastic work Kia Kaha.

At 10:03am on June 22, 2009, Michael Ryan said…: Gaye,
Many thanks for your reply.
I realise that you and the team are bending over backwards to acheive some "fair deal" for us, We await your recommendations.
Cheers
Michael

At 8:02pm on June 12, 2009, Monique Jansonius-Albers said…: Thank you Gaye, You and your team look like you had a lot of fun too, gotta love those balloons.......Go Pink!!!!!!
Yahoo weekend.....Yuessss!!!!
Take Care

At 8:22pm on June 4, 2009, Monique Jansonius-Albers said…: Hi there Gaye,
Brought it ( Negotiations paper ) to peoples attention at our Unit staff meeting today and asked them all to read it as it could have implications in the long term. Support Staff have to take responsibility and keep themselves as informed as possible. I know we are all doing our bit to get as much info out there as we can. Perhaps we will get more feedback as the days progress.
Cold nights here but super days. Take care
