A limited statutory manager is working with the Mangakōtukutuku College board
Parents can expect to see changes at Mangakōtukutuku College as a government-appointed helper gets to work.

According to one parent, communication had already improved since a list of behavioural issues, including a lunchtime brawl, put the newly merged school under the spotlight.

Have you been past the old theatre lately?
It was a spectacle that would have thrilled anyone’s inner three-year-old.
And, on Tuesday afternoon, some actual three and two-year-olds were lucky enough to be among those looking on as a pair of gigantic orange demolition excavators tore into the northern wall of Hamilton’s Founders Theatre in the manner of ravenous monsters.
