URL Proper consultation on new school:
Anne Tolley | Education
Education Minister Anne Tolley says construction of a proposed new school on the site of the former Waimokoia residential school in Auckland has been put on hold to allow proper consultation to take place with neighbouring schools and the wider community.
Thurston Place College was due to open in January 2012, to cater for thirty students under the care and protection of Child, Youth and Family.
“I’m disappointed that the Ministry of Education did not carry out sufficient consultation,” says Mrs Tolley.
