PPTA

Nestled in the heart of Otago, PPTA – The Post Primary Teachers' Association, has been a beacon of hope and knowledge for over six decades. As a vibrant union committed to the wellbeing and success of its members, we stand tall as an indispensable part of New Zealand's educational landscape. Our story began in 1953 when a group of dedicated educators joined forces to advocate for fairer working conditions, better salaries, and a more equitable education system. Over the years, our union has grown exponentially, reflecting the expansion of the teaching profession and its pivotal role in shaping the future of our nation's youth. Today, PPTA is more than just a union; we are a dynamic community of educators united by a shared passion for quality education and a desire to make a positive impact on students' lives. We provide our members with a wealth of resources, opportunities for professional development, and a supportive network that fosters collaboration and growth. As the digital age has transformed the way we live and learn, PPTA has embraced the online revolution. Our cutting-edge website offers an array of information on union activities, educational news, and valuable resources to help our members stay informed and effective in their roles. From comprehensive guides on collective bargaining to insightful articles on teaching methodologies, we strive to provide our members with all the tools they need to excel in their careers. At PPTA, we understand that being a teacher is more than just a job – it's a calling. That's why we are committed to supporting our members every step of the way, empowering them to make a difference in the lives of their students and contribute to a brighter future for all New Zealanders. As we continue to evolve with the times, one thing remains constant: our unwavering dedication to education, our members, and the students they inspire each day. Welcome to PPTA – where educators come together to make a difference.
