Queenstown has a massive need for expanded secondary schooling options, Liger has already demonstrated its success in giving students a huge boost in achieving their potential. Liger as a charter school makes perfect sense. I support this application for chartership fully.

Liger provides greater learning opportunities for students within the Wakatipu. Setting our children up to be the next generation of leaders for New Zealand.

My Son Oliver is currently attending Liger Leadership Academy and I can see first hand how incredible this school has been for these learners. The energy and enthusiasm from the whole Liger Team is outstanding. I have even had the privilege of bringing some of the kids into my business and seeing how thoughtful, interested, forward thinking and motivated these kids are to learn. Trevor and Agnieska have been working so hard along with Daniel and his team for years Bringing so many opportunities to our kids. We can’t thank them enough! So excited for many more opportunities for other kids.

The primarily one school option here is not working. Our students need more options!

The high school has issues and we have a huge expansion in our population and no choice - we need viable options for locals . Liger gives that in abundance !

My son goes to Liger. Queenstown only had 1 senior school option prior to Liger opening or you had to ship them off to another town. The town is growing and we need more schooling options

I strongly believe the community will benefit from a charter high school with the Liger model being open to more students.

I support the new initiative to make the Liger Curriculum available for the wider community in Queenstown. This region definitly needs another option for secubdary education.

Definitely would like to see our town growing and quality education not legging behind. And with a curriculum more like Liger Academy it will definitely be a win to the learners and community.

I am signing because there could not be a more perfect application for the Charter School model by matching a world leading education curriculum already established in a town (Queenstown) with excess demand for schooling . Making the Liger curriculum and teachers to be available to a greater number of children and at a far lower cost is an opportunity that should not be passed over by the NZ education ministry.

This will be hugely beneficial to Queenstown, The Community, The Students and for the next generation of our society

I support Charter Schools opening in areas that there is obvious need for them like Queenstown

I see the need for an alternative option model for high school in the Whakatipu, especially for gifted and neurodivergent learners and those who find the size and style of teaching layouts challenging at the current, very large and open plan high school.

I recognise that the high school is a quality institution and high performing, but is still not the right space to suit all children or allow them to always realise their full potential

Queenstown needs choice!

We need other options when WHS dosnt meet our kids needs
A different attitude to learning that dosnt base success on the ability to remember and regurgitate information

I concur with the reasons outlined on the information sheet attached to this petition form which outline why and. how a Manawaroa Charter School could benefit Queenstown, the tamariki who attend, and the wider community.

More options for kids from the region for an education that isn’t just one size fits all

We desperately need an alternative school, particularly one that will cater to neurodivergent kids. Otherwise more families will be forced to leave town.

There so many primary schools now that feed one high school, there is enough students coming through for two colleges.
Plus the kids need to have another school locally to compete against in all aspects of the curricular.

Because this is a fantastic opportunity that is greatly needed for my children and others in Queenstown!
