How did you choose what school to send your kids to?
Tēna koutou neighbours, The Post is currently investigating school zoning. We're interested to hear from parents/whānau about how they decided what school to send their children to. Did you send your child(ren) to the school you're in zone for (or the nearest school if you don't live inside a particular zone)? Did you enroll your child in a school out-of-zone? Did you move house to get into a particular school/zone? We'd love to hear from a wide range of people, so please get in touch with me or Hanna McCallum if you have something to say on this topic: brittany.keogh@stuff.co.nz
