Knowing the synods prayers and prayers of others for the Te Aute Trust is important, but I think its not a very practical action. If there is any action to take people should remember that Hukarere Girls had to close down several years back so that Te Aute can survive. In doing this Te Aute responded by doing absolutely nothing when Hukarere also suffered the same problem. One of the Trust Board Members and the then Primate met secretly in the car at the front of the Marae in Hastings to avoid any conflict that was building up inside the Marae. I was at this hui! Also the problem is that the old school is still reminincing about the good old days and not focusing on the possiblities of a more modern and relevant education for youth and students these days. And finally the Church should remember that the issues facing youth and students are sometimes not addressed by the church and so there is this disconnection. The only connection is that it becomes and oldskool click! and today's education becomes irrelevant.
