Parents who pay attention to Albany Primary School:

Albany Primary School is considering to map out Unsworth Heights from school zone.

We can have a communication with school with our considerations or worries:

“It is essential we have your feedback regarding the proposed new zone and the “grand parenting” clause. The school will be holding two community meetings with the Principal and Board members where the proposed changes to the enrolment scheme and their implications (including the impact on younger siblings of current students who are yet to start school) will be discussed. These will be held

at the school as follows:
 9.00am - 10.00am on Monday 9th June
 6.00pm - 7.00pm on Tuesday 11th June
Members of the community are also invited to make comment regarding the proposed amendment in writing (until 28th June 2019) to: The Board of Trustees BOT@albany.school.nz or post to 6 Bass Road, Albany, Auckland 0632.”

The proposed change to the school zone (which largely impacts the Unsworth Heights area) is mapped out, along with a description of the changes on the school website www.albany.school.nz....
