Hekia Parata

Our school bell is tolling.

Our school hall (where I teach) was packed today with parents and community members.

Hekia Parata ( Minister of Education in the New Zealand Government) has visited 34 schools that are proposed to close or merge in Christchurch. Our school was number 35 and last.

Our allocation was one hour, to convince her that our school of 325 students should not merge with another school on their site.

She promised to consult.
She promised to listen.
She promised that the decision is not already made.

Our written submission (along with all the other affected schools) is to be in to the Ministry on 7th December.

We'll see after that, how convincing we were.
