Kia ora Cher
Thank you for your email dated 8 April 2026 requesting information. You
requested all files and information including clinical & behavioural
notes, observational logs, psychological assessments, and "Resource Room"
or "Special Unit" progress reports. You also requested copies of contracts
and schedules: any "Strict Contracts" or enrolment schedules (e.g., 3x3
care or specialized unit hours) and specific incident data such as records
regarding the allocation of specialized sensory equipment (e.g., a "Super
Trampoline"), or discretionary gifts provided to you at St Leonards Road
School.
Unfortunately, due to the historical nature, we are unable to assist with
your query. We can confirm that there is no enrolment information, files
or other information stored at the Ministry of Education in reference to
your request.
If you haven’t already done so, please contact St Leonards Road School
directly to see if they have any of the information you seek.
Unfortunately, you may strike the same problem. All public sector
entities comply with the Public Records Act 2005 in reference to the
storing and retaining of documents and records. Schools are required to
retain this type of information for 7 years.
