Teachers and school staff at Throsby School participated in industrial action on October 1, 2026, stopping work for an hour. This action is part of ongoing industrial action demanding a resolution to negotiations between the Australian Education Union and the ACT government. The union has been negotiating for 15 months, and the territory faces a shortage of teachers, leading to daily split classes at schools like Throsby.
