as term 2 set to start
South Auckland schools are experiencing an influx of enrolments as new students keep walking through their doors months into the year, educators say.
Despite the sharp growth, principals are still concerned for the thousands of pupils who disappeared from the education system during Covid-19.
Grant McMillan, the principal at James Cook High School in Manurewa, said many students enrolling in his school hadn’t been in education for about a year.
“We’re seeing a slow returning to schooling after a huge amount of work on the ground and encouraging students to come back to school,” he said.
