My daughter attended a private school which it cost me an arm and a leg to keep her at. I considered it worth every penny. However, just before she was due to leave they decided to go state funded. I fought tooth and nail at every meeting to stop them but i could not make them believe that they would be forced to seel off the orchards, the play land, the hockey and netball pitches etc. No one listened and the motion was passed. Not long after my daughter left they were forced to sell the first of the orchards.
Further more, the pass mark for entrance exam used to be 80%. Now they have been forced to bring the entrance pass mark down to 45%.
