Dear Ms Horgan

 

I would like to have the opportunity to talk with you about your
information request.  As it stands the request is quite broad and we would
likely decline the majority of the request under Section18(f) of the
Official Information Act as the information requested cannot be made
available without substantial collation or research.

 

We would like to be able to provide you with information that is helpful
to you in respect to the proposed second Rolleston Campus, and a
conversation may allow us to modify your request so that we can do this. 
Please either call me on the number below or email with a time that is
convenient for me to call, and a contact telephone number.

 

If I do not hear back from you by the 2 February 2022, we will proceed
with refusing those parts of your request that require substantial
collation and research.

 

In finishing, we must transfer the final part of your request for
information in respect to the video under Section 14(b) of the Act as we
do not hold the information and believe this may be held by Rolleston
College.

 

Warm regards

 

Nancy Robbie

Good afternoon Kylie

 

Thank you again for your time on the phone to discuss your information
request.  It was most helpful to understand the type of information you
were seeking, as it better allows the Ministry to provide information that
may be of interest to you.  As I understand, your particular interest lies
in understanding how much weight was given to student welfare in the
decision making process to establish a second Rolleston College campus,
rather than an entirely separate secondary school at another location in
Rolleston.  It is your position that student wellbeing would be better
served with a separate school.

 

Now to look at your questions:

 

- All raw data (excluding names etc) from rounds one and two of the
community consultations.  The surveys that our community submitted.

- All reports prepared for the Ministry by external contractors in
relation to the consultation process. ie. Gabrielle Whalls reports.

 

Discussion: You advised you hold an abridged or summarised version of
Gabrielle Whalls’ report and are interested in the full report.  The
Ministry holds this material and is able to release this, subject to any
privacy considerations, or other grounds under the Act that may be
applicable.

 

- All correspondence, including emails between MOE staff, contractors and
Rolleston College BOT and/or management, relating to the Rolleston zone
secondary school procurement, management, land purchasing and
consultation.

- All information and correspondence regarding the purchase of the land
for the new campus.

 

Discussion: These areas be re-scoped to key documents, subject to any
potential commercial negotiations that may prejudice the Ministry;
information such as price for example.

 

- All secondary research undertaken by the Ministry across NZ and globally
regarding the advantages and disadvantages upon young people of the
creation of large schools

 

Discussion: Research material held will be released in full.

 

- All minutes from meetings, recommendations, white papers and
communications to Ministry teams and Minister pertaining to the new
Rolleston College Campus.

- All information and communications regarding the initially planned stage
2 of the current Rolleston College campus.

 

Discussion: We talked about Rolleston College being a PPP school and how
that works contractually. Also, that any material provided to the Minister
will likely be under active consideration and as it isn’t specifically in
your area of interest, you have agreed to withdraw this part of the
request. 

 

- All financial information concerning the 'establishment budgets'
allocated to the current Rolleston College and the new campus.

 

Discussion: We talked about where the Ministry is in terms of funding and
again, as this doesn't focus on your specific area of interest, you agreed
to withdraw this part of your request.

 

- All financial and planning information relating to the promotional video
made for Rolleston College for round 2 of the consultation.  Who requested
this video to be made, what was the brief given and how much did it cost
the taxpayer?

 

Discussion:  I confirmed again the Ministry does not hold any information
related to the video and you advised you had already asked the Rolleston
Principal to “hold off” on the request.  You indicated you would formally
let the school know you were no longer interested in this information to
close the loop.

 

Hopefully, this email reflects our conversation and the information we
will provide is helpful, and of interest to you.  If you could please
confirm this is your understanding of what was agreed, or if not, please
amend as required.  As I explained on the phone, requests for "all
information, emails, meetings etc..." are unfortunately often declined
given the volume of material in scope of the request, and the work needed
to collate and review the material for release.

 

Thank you again for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Warm regards

 

Nancy
