Dear Education Review Office,

Please refer to this request I made to the Ministry of Education - https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

Could you please provide me with an explicit answer to the question of whether bullrush is banned in schools nationally?

Has bullrush ever been a topic discussed in any ERO reviews of schools in New Zealand?

Yours faithfully,

Mr Mathews
