these schools since becoming Minister.
I have considered your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).

(4157) and Halswell Residential College (522).
Please note that, in line with section 18(d) of the Act, I am refusing to provide a copy of this

The document wil be released in part, with some information withheld under section 9(2)(a)
