College zoning decision

A total of 371 submissions have been received by Orewa College regarding its proposed zone change, which will exclude the Red Beach and Waitoki areas.

This number includes people who attended drop-in sessions at the college, and multiple submissions from some households.

Orewa College principal Kate Shevland says that all submissions have been responded to. All the submissions and information go before the Ministry of Education, which is responsible for making the final decision on the zone proposal.

The college hopes that the changes can come into effect with next year’s intake.
