Subject: Official Information request - Request for Establishment of a
High School servicing Kumeu, Huapai, Riverhead, and Surrounding Areas in
West Auckland

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
