I was honoured to visit Hamilton Christian School yesterday to help make the announcement around them moving towards becoming an integrated school, which will cut parent fees and provide extra educational resources for the school.

Since my election to Parliament I have been a strong advocate of this proposal, speaking with Minister Hipkins on many occasions.

I am excited to see progress in this area, and thank the school leadership for the excellent work they have done and continue to do.

Hamilton Christian School has won government approval to negotiate to become an integrated state school. www.stuff.co.nz....
