So why do the Opposition want to close this school down?

Just been reading the 2015 annual report for Vanguard School.

Their results have seen them in the top ten schools for all of Auckland. Their students got 100% success for NCEA Level 1 and Level 3 and 93% for Level 2.

Now is this a school cherry picking the brightest and best students from all over Auckland? No, it is generally students who were failing in other schools.

56% of their roll is Pasifika and Maori. 53% come from South and West Auckland.

Have a read through their annual report, especially the quotes from the students about what a difference this school has made to them.

And then ask your local Labour or Green MP why they are determined to close this school down.
