[IN-CONFIDENCE - RELEASE EXTERNAL]

 

Tēnā koe Ronda

 

Thank you for your below email of 25 September 2025 to the Ministry of
Education (the Ministry) requesting information about the Naenae College
Enrolment Scheme. Your request has been considered under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act).

 

Your request, as currently worded, is very broad in nature and scope. As
such, it is likely that your request, as it currently stands, would be
refused under section 18(f) of the Act, as the information requested
cannot be made available without substantial collation or research.

 

In the hope that we may be able to avoid refusing your request, we would
be grateful if you could provide further detail around the nature of the
information you are looking for, so that we might be able to determine the
information that is most meaningful to you.

 

Some ways in which you may be able to refine the scope of your request are
to specify a timeframe for the information, specify (or exclude)
categories of sender and/or recipient of the communications, and/or reduce
the types of communication sought.           

 

I look forward to hearing from you. Once we have your refinement, we will
commence work on your request.

 

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.

Dear Enquiries National,

Thank you for your response dated 4 November 2025. I am writing to seek clarification regarding what appears to be an omission from the documents provided.

The official Naenae College Board Minutes record the following:

29 May 2025 (Item 9 - Correspondence):
- "ACTION: Daniel encouraged the Board to support a letter Chris will write to the Ministry of Education opposing the Zoning of Naenae College."
"All agreed"

26 June 2025 (Item 3 - Principal's Report):
- "The letter to the MOE regarding the enrolment scheme/zoning was approved. Chris to remove the last line of the letter and send on the Board's behalf."

This Board-approved letter does not appear in your Appendix A Document table. Your response includes documents dated 15 May 2025, 21 July 2025, and 28 July 2025, but no correspondence from Naenae College to the Ministry during June-July when the Board minutes indicate this letter was approved and sent.

Yours sincerely,

Ronda

Thank you for your follow up email of 5 November 2025.

 

The Ministry of Education has no record of receiving any such letter and
as such, our response of 4 November 2025 still stands.

 

You may wish to submit a request to Naenae College directly for this
information, if you have not already.
