Engagement process
We’ve appointed Dr Gabrielle Wall to facilitate the community engagement process. Dr Wall has a background in education research and community engagement projects. She has extensive knowledge of the education sector and of future-focussed school design. Dr Wall will work with a reference group comprised of education sector representatives from the area.
The engagement will seek people’s views on the possible structure and design of new primary education provision. For example:
- there could be - new stand-alone primary schools
- new primary provisions could operate as an extension of an existing school
- or there could be opportunities for shared governance and facilities.
Phase one
Phase one is face-to-face public workshops to gather and explore ideas about future education provision. Workshops are scheduled:
Monday 22 August 5-6pm Aidanfield Christian School| Date | Time | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday 16 August | 7.30-8.30pm | Halswell school |
| Tuesday 23 August | 7-8pm | Hillmorton school |
| Wednesday 24 August | 6-7pm | Rowley Avenue school |
| Tuesday 6 September | 7-8pm | Oaklands school |
Phase 2
Dr Wall will collate the ideas generated through the face-to-face consultation into an online survey. This makes it possible to identify which options and ideas are widely supported.
The online survey will be live from 12 - 30 September. Check back here for the link to the survey or email Sue.barr@education.govt.nz who can email you the link when it is live.
