Dear Ministry of Education,

Kia ora David,
Thank you for your request for information, which has been considered

Counts, and can be found at the following link:

We are therefore refusing your request under section 18(d) of the Act, as
the information requested is already publicly available.
Thank you again for your email. You have the right to ask an Ombudsman to
review my decision on your request, in accordance with section 28 of the
Act. You can do this by writing to [2][email address] or to
