Designated Special Character schools
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Zealand Education Act of 1989 allows the Minister to establish special character schools - Section 155 for kura kaupapa Mäori where the principal language of instruction is te reo Mäori, and Section 156 Designated Special Character schools.
The special character of schools established under Section 156 is not specified in the Act, and parents may propose any desirable special character as long as no other local school is already delivering an education reflecting the same special character.
There are currently 11 DSC schools:
- Te Kura O Waikare
- Te Whanau o Tupuranga
- Nga Taiatea Wharekura
- Te Kura o Hirangi
- Te Kura O Torere
- Te Kura Toitu o Te Whaiti-nui-a-Toi
- Te Kura Kaupapa Motuhake O Tawhiuau
- Mana Tamariki
- Te Kura O Te Whakatupuranga Rua Mano
- Te Kura Maori O Porirua
- Discovery One School[1]
- Unlimited paenga tawhiti
