A video of a press conference with Minister of Education Hekia Parata about the Ministry's decisions for secondary schools in Christchurch. Earlier in the day Parata announced that all secondary schools will stay open, and that Avonside Girls' High School and Shirley Boys' High School will share a new site.
After years of disruption caused by the Christchurch earthquakes, two schools have finally started moving into their new state of the art facilities. Avonside Girls' High School and Shirley Boys' High School have begun moving students into their new shared but separate campus on the grounds of the old QEII Park in north New Brighton. Some of the features include, a moveable gym, bike stands with spanners and air pumps, and a rock climbing wall. It will be the first time in New Zealand two single-sex schools have been on the same site. Guyon Espiner speaks to Avonside Girls' High principal Sue Hume and Shirley Boys' High School principal John Laurenson.
