I was honoured to visit Hamilton Christian School yesterday to help make the announcement around them moving towards becoming an integrated school, which will cut parent fees and provide extra educational resources for the school.

Hamilton Christian School has won government approval to negotiate to become an integrated state school. www.stuff.co.nz....
