A very good article here re our private school intentions in central Auckland.
My strong preference was for Charter Schools but that is water under the bridge – so – as John Wayne said … “A man has gotta do what a man has gotta do”.
It has been a MASSIVE amount of work but we are very close to having a new private school (250 students from Year 0 – 10) in place as a remarkable venue with five included ventures:
- An ECE
- Before and after school care.
- A superb music events programme with the aim of becoming central Auckland’s premier small concert venue (for 450 guests in a remarkable auditorium). We will also be able to host weddings, fund-raising functions, etc.
- A bespoke designed “Adult Academy of Excellence” to allow working people the very best expertise to develop their skill sets in a range if human endevours” and transition to their dream occupations.
- A cafe that is already in place but needs to be re-opened. That is a risk for me as I love 2nd breakfasts, morning teas, early lunches, late lunches, afternoon teas ….
NZH captured the plan well here: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/new-private-school-city-0-10-planned-for-central-auckland-hopes-to-open-by-term-4/JJORK3L62NCR3MKS5MKW4ONW54/
Should we get this flying we then have a second, very high quality, site available for a Year 11 – 13 school.
I always welcome interest and support.
