The new hours are not beneficial to my family life. They will impact my work lifeToni George (Wollongong, 2022-02-09)

I work till 4.30 and afternoon care will be more than what I earn. Also if teachers want the pay rise currently proposed maybe they should start working for it. 3 months off a year as unchecked leave the 4 weeks on top as well as making us teach our kids with every excuse under the sun is quite disappointing to say the least. Our school curriculum is a joke on the best of days. Let's invest in the future not hold it back.Wayde Silcock (Barrack Heights, 2022-02-09)

You dont need to fix something thats not broken!Imagine being a working parent, and having to pick your kids up at 1pm...
Whats the point of working to spend your money on after school care...
It does not help working parents one bit!

This is ridiculous. Parents who have a 9 to 5 job will suffer not to much the children getting up so early. Children will have there turn needing to be up early when they are in the work force, why on earth are people trying to change everything, if its not broken then leave it aloneKathleen Thistlethwaite (Shellharbour, 2022-02-09)

This is really ridiculous!! Why on earth would you want to change a system that has always worked perfectly. This guy has lost it!! Leave school times as they are!! I can tell you now my child who as ASD is going to have a very very hard time adjusting to this absurd change! It's enough to make us move into a different state!! Leave shit alone !! Focus on covid and doing your job!Carlie Matheson (Wollongong, 2022-02-09)

I am a single mum, my children DO NOT see their father so all of their care comes down to me with support from my parents for after school care. I work 9-5:30 Monday to Friday. These new hours Will put extra stress on me and my elderly parents.Lisa Nasome (Albion Park, 2022-02-09)

Because this will not work for me and my family. If I had to put my children in after school care I may as well not work.Joanne Wilson (Oak flats, 2022-02-09)

I'm signing not just because I'm a parent with children, but in the best interest of children and families. Children and families have experienced enough in the last two years, why make them experience more pressure, stress and change. What are single parents to do? What are working parents to do? I see this as, long days for our children and less time with our children. It's ridiculous.Arthur Corinne (Wollongong, 2022-02-09)
#56
This is ridiculous. Some kids have to travel 1 - 1 and a half hours to get to school. Winter is coming and the poor little kids will be at school before sunrise. What about the parents that work till 5.00pm???Robyn Akins (Jesmond, 2022-02-09)

New hours would not be suitable for my grandchildren & so many other families I know.Kathleen Gallagher (Dapto, 2022-02-09)

It has been proven that teenagers need to sleep later due to their natural sleep cycles therefore moving the day earlier would not make sense.Tamara Blanch (Warilla, 2022-02-09)

Im signing because I already am working long days and having to leave my kids at school with minimal supervision due to no before school care and then send them to after school care or not have lunch to speed back to pickup for 2.30. My youngest has only just gone to sleep at 10pm and would not get up in time for 7am starts.Lauren Beattie (Cordeaux heights, 2022-02-09)

It believe it’s to early for a child to start school.They can’t be expected to go to bed at 7.30(just an example) and then have to get up so early especially the kids that travel a distance to school.

it is ridiculous to change hours. leave the kids alone it has been 9-3 for years in my opinion it should be 10 to 4pm. kids are not going to function at 7am and kids that have to walk to school in dark which is dangerous....come on government THINK!!!!!!Vanessa Benkovic (Albion Park Rail, 2022-02-09)
#114
I do not support starting school earlier as it is an absolutely ridiculous idea.If school hours were to be changed in ANY way, they should start later and finish later.

9 to 3pm work.The 7 to 1pm not work this = to less working mums, increasing childcare payment, you can NOT make a change bass on one type of group,

This will make it hard for my son for his medication timing, change of routine.He attends a support unit and gets picked up by a school transport at 7:30am to be at school by 9am, changing the hours will make it more difficult for him to function. He already has enough troubles we do t need more.

These changes to school hours are not suitable especially for the younger children, my son is always still asleep at 7am and you want him to be sitting in a classroom ready to learn every day? It will not work.Melinda Ayers (Dapto, 2022-02-09)
