The Correspondence School

It is UnitedFuture policy to:

  • Enable all New Zealand students to access and benefit from dual enrolment, so that primarily correspondence students can take classes at local schools as well as the reverse scenario.
  • Offer students the chance to have face-to-face interactions and participate in correspondence school camps, school days and/or workshops in order to develop co-operation, competition, physical & social skills
  • Fund the Parents Association annually through the Ministry of Education.
  • Reinstate elected parent and staff representatives on the Board of Trustees.
  • Ensure that Distance & Itinerant students’ needs are ring-fenced and protected and open up funding streams such as ORRS for students with disabilities and special needs.
  • Develop an NZQA qualification for teaching correspondence to students.
  • Review supervisor payment rates.
