The Correspondence School
From Free net encyclopedia
The Correspondence School (Te Kura-a-Tuhi) is New Zealand's largest school, with students from early childhood to secondary level. In addition to its ordinary full-time students, it provides programmes to students at other state-owned schools where a subject is unavailable, and to adults. In 2003 there were 8,614 full-time equivalent students (of all categories, including adult and Department of Corrections enrolments), with a total of 18,999 students.
The school began in 1922 with 100 primary level students, expanding into secondary education in 1928 with 50 students and into early childhood education in 1976.
It is headquartered in Portland Cresent in Thorndon, Wellington.
Currently the school is undergoing a significant review of its services.Template:NZ-school-stub
