Their schools are part of an unprecedented Education Ministry push to create or redraw enrolment schemes at 135 Auckland schools. Leabank School principal Rex Maddren said some people would not be happy if the school's new zone shut them out. Both Vasau and Maddren said they had little choice about the size and shape of their schools' enrolment zones. He said the association agreed more enrolment schemes were necessary and the ministry's intervention should help ensure they were fair.
