The request was successful.

Dear Auckland Grammar,
Back in 1921, the government of New Zealand required all teachers
to make an affirmation of allegiance. This law is still on the
books today, and I am interested in investigating how it is
complied with. I would therefore like to request the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982:
* what sort of proof does the school require and/or hold of
teachers having complied with s162(1) Education Act 1964 (giving an
affirmation of allegiance or that they will not do anything
disloyal to the Queen, depending on residency status)? Does the
school perform such affirmations itself (under s192(2)), or require
proof that they have been performed elsewhere?
I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
fyi.org.nz website.
With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Harris
