Dear Ministry of Education
I am writing to draw your attention to the urgent need for a high school to service the rapidly growing areas of Kumeu, Huapai, Riverhead, and their surroundings in West Auckland. This request stems from several critical factors affecting the residents and students of these regions.
Firstly, there has been a surge in new housing developments in these areas, attracting a growing number of residents. This population increase has naturally led to a higher demand for educational facilities, particularly at the secondary level.
Secondly, current high school students are compelled to travel long distances to attend schools, often resorting to costly private institutions. The excessive commuting times not only impose financial and logistical burdens on families but also detract from students' overall well-being and academic performance.
Lastly, the only zoned high school in Massey is currently operating beyond its capacity, further exacerbating the problem. This overcrowding undermines the quality of education and places additional stress on the already strained infrastructure.
The combined effect of these issues continues to significantly impact the quality of learning and the quality of life for our students. Therefore, I urge the Ministry to consider expediting the establishment of a high school servicing these communities to better serve the educational needs.
Thank you for your attention to this critical and now urgent matter. I look forward to your positive response.
Yours faithfully,
Rakesh Mathura
