Rangiora High School – Common Sense Must Prevail

With the escalation of public interest around the relocation of the Rangiora High School Nursery School some explanation regarding the Board of Trustees’ intentions is important at this time. The Board acts in the best interests of 1800 secondary school students in this matter and has made the decision to develop a Board owned facility for school use because it has a significant, genuine and justified need to do so. The two recent claims in the media that it is the Board’s intention to take possession of the Nursery School’s Wales Street site and that the Board has failed in their duty of care of the school’s substantial land and buildings need clarification.

Rangiora High School Nursery School Not Threatened

There needs to be some clarification around the current process the Rangiora High School Board of Trustees is following around the appropriation of the Rangiora High School Nursery School site. The Rangiora High School Board of Trustees is not closing the Nursery School. The Board have no wish or intention to stop the Nursery School from trading as the Rangiora High School Nursery School. The Rangiora High School Board of Trustees is as committed today as it was 74 years ago to ensuring that there is a place for the Nursery School in Rangiora, and will support the Nursery School during this time of transition to new premises.
