An Auckland school for disabled children thinks its roll could nearly triple under new changes
24 August 2018
The government's announced there'll be fewer restrictions on students accessing three residential special schools - Halswell in Christchurch, Salisbury near Nelson, and Westbridge in the Auckland suburb of Massey.
Westbridge currently has a roll of just 12, when it could be taking 32 students.
Principal David Bagwell says the Government's removed a major block to their work.
He says they get phone calls every day, from desperate parents who want to send their kids to Westbridge.
