Community Engagement on Future Education Provision for Hawera
The Ministry of Education is currently working on plans for future schooling in the Hawera area. The Ministry is committed to investing in the property at Hawera Intermediate and Hawera High School. There will be a significant capital investment and so the Ministry is keen to renew discussions about how to achieve the best possible outcome for current and future students.
Many of you may recall a similar process that took place in 2017. As there have been changes to schooling in Hawera since this time (changes to boards, principals etc) the Ministry is leading a new engagement process. This is an exciting opportunity for parents and the whole community to contribute innovative ideas and have input into the future of schooling in Hawera.
The first phase of the engagement will involve face-to-face public workshops, to gather and explore ideas about future education provision. They will be facilitated by Dr Gabrielle Wall and are scheduled as follows:
Whānau and Community members
- Tuesday March 3rd, 5.30 – 6.30pm, Hawera Community Centre
- Tuesday March 3rd, 7 – 8pm, Hawera Community Centre
- Wednesday March 4th, 7 – 8pm, Hawera Community Centre
- Thursday March 5th, 7 – 8pm, Robert Gibson Hall (Manaia)
These sessions are all open to the public - parents and interested community members are welcome. Similar content will be covered in all sessions, so feel free to attend whichever time best suits your schedule.
Staff (Early Childhood and Schools)
- Monday March 2nd, 3.30 – 4.30pm, Hawera Community Centre
- Monday March 2nd, 7 – 8pm, Hawera Community Centre
Focus groups are also being held with students to gather their input during this phase. The ideas and themes generated through this first phase of engagement will then be used to construct an online survey that will make it possible to identify which options and ideas have a wider base of support. The online survey will be open later in Term 1.
