Good morning, and thank you for joining our live coverage as Victoria’s public school teachers and principals strike for the second time in four months.

I’m education reporter Bridie Smith, and I’ll be helming our blog while my colleagues Alex Crowe, Jackson Graham and Caroline Schelle bring you live updates from the rally.

Today’s industrial action comes after teachers, principals and education support staff rejected a revised government pay offer of 28.3 per cent over four years made in April and a 17 per cent pay offer over three years proposed in March.

You can catch up with what has been happening here.
