Kawerau Intermediate Closure
Kawerau Intermediate Closure
The Board of Trustees of
Kawerau Intermediate and Kawerau College received on Friday
11 November a letter from the Minister of Education
notifying them that she intends to proceed with the closure
of Kawerau Intermediate and Kawerau College at the end of
2012 and create a new Year 7-13 school on the site of
Kawerau College.
The Board of Trustees and the wider
Intermediate school community is hugely disappointed at this
decision that goes against what the community wanted. It is
not good enough.
The Board of Trustees is holding a public meeting this coming Tuesday 15th November in the intermediate hall to discuss this decision (beginning at 7:00pm). The meeting will be a chance for the community to express its views and plan future action.
For the past 12 months the collective voice of the Kawerau Community has been ignored and it is time to express its views about a Minister who believes she knows what is best for 'their' tamariki.
We extend an invitation for you to attend this event.
Kind regards
Daryl Aim
