Education ministry staff were in Queenstown this week getting public feedback on its plans to bring in enrolment zones for Queenstown Primary School and the under-construction Te Kura Whakatipu o Kawarau school in Hanley’s Farm.
The ministry’s also consulting on a tweak to Remarkables Primary’s zone, a chunk of which will fall into Te Kura’s scheme ahead of that school’s expected opening next year.
Arrowtown and Shotover primary schools aren’t affected.
Ministry deputy secretary of sector enablement and support, Katrina Casey, tells
Mountain Scene the changes are aimed at giving the schools’ boards a fair and transparent mechanism for enrolling new students, and to prevent the risk of overcrowding at any one school.
