The date range of 2023 and 2024 has been added to some parts of the
request but not all. Can you please confirm that the data you want is for
2023 and 2024 for all questions?

 

Additionally, in part 8 of your request you refer to student enrolment in
a “regular local school”. Can you please provide further explanation of
what you mean by “regular”’ and “local”? For example, are you interested
in whether students attended a school in the Education Region they
resided, or interested in the type of school attended (e.g. specialist,
primary, composite, secondary, home schooling), or whether the school was
public/state-integrated/private?

 

I look forward to hearing from you. Once we have your clarification, we
will commence work on your request. Please respond to this email by 31
January 2025.

 

Please note that in line with Section 15 (1AA) of the Act, if a request is
amended or clarified after the date on which it is received, the Ministry
may treat the amended or clarified request as a new request that replaces
the original request.

We have not received a response in relation to the two aspects of your
request we sought clarification on via email on 24 January. We have
therefore interpreted the timeframe for each part of the request to be
2023 and 2024. We have also interpreted “local regular school” to mean
that you want to know what type of school a student was enrolled in prior
to enrolling at one of the three Residential Specialist schools listed
above e.g. state school, day specialist school, home schooled etc.
