1870 (2026). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Education: What reports, briefings, emails, memos, aides-memoire, notes or written advice, if any, has the Minister and/or her Office received regarding the cancellation of Gloriavale School's registration as a private school; listed by date, title, and agency received?
Hon Erica Stanford: I received the following briefings: • 15 January: Rapid response - The current state of education provision and plans for students at the Gloriavale Christian community. Since November 2025, the Ministry of Education has been keeping me updated on a weekly basis on their decision making and progress with Gloriavale Christian School. This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles.
