They just want to go to their old school

The Tauranga parents of "heartbroken" children say rigid rules around school zones have denied their boys a quality education and stable daily routine.
Kara and Steve Peach are fighting to keep their boys at Greenpark Primary School after a six-week stay with their grandparents in Ohakune, south of Taupo.
They want the Ministry of Education to introduce and provide clearer rules around zoning for parents, from the day they enrol their children.
The family moved out of Greenpark's zone when they shifted house on March 3 but as current students, the children were still eligible to attend.
But in late July, Mrs Peach was suddenly admitted to Tauranga Hospital with chronic pancreatitis. She was told she could have to stay in hospital up to four months and, with her husband working 12-hour days, there was no-one to care for the boys.
The decision was made to send Bjorn, 10, and Deavon, 8, to live with Mrs Peach's parents in Ohakune while she recuperated. The boys were withdrawn from Greenpark Primary.
Mrs Peach says she was not aware that by moving from Greerton to Gate Pa in March she would be unable to re-enrol the brothers on their return to Tauranga.
Joanne Allen, Ministry of Education's Rotorua manager, said that when a student enrolled at a new school, even for a short period, enrolment at their previous school ceases. If they approach their previous school to re-enrol, the school has to treat the application as a "new" enrolment.
The Peach boys went to Ohakune for 6 1/2 weeks and attended Ohakune Primary School while there.
Now, Mrs Peach has returned to work and is battling for her boys to return to their beloved school.
"My husband and I thought we were doing the responsible thing and making sure our boys were safe and still getting an education while I was in hospital for almost a month," she said.
It was important their boys returned to Greenpark because they had been receiving a good education there since ages five and six, loved their teachers and all their friends were there.
Mrs Peach said Greenpark had been supportive and wrote a letter to the ministry arguing the boys should be allowed back out of compassion.
The school's deputy principal, Jason Mischewski, said unfortunately there was nothing more the school could do.
"As far as enrolment and zoning goes we have to attempt to abide by it the best we can. The ministry is pretty structured in its vision and isn't as open as we would like it to be in some matters ... "
He said not all schools had enrolment schemes and it paid to ask. "I'm not aware if they (the Peaches) enrolled in two of the three periods when we didn't have enrolment schemes," he said.
The ministry has said the only way the Peach boys could be re-enrolled at Greenpark is if the ministry undertook a 'directed enrolment' in terms of the Education Act 1989. These are applied on a case-by-case basis and require evidence of the disadvantage to the student of not attending that particular school, sufficient to warrant overriding an enrolment scheme.
Mrs Peach said she and her husband would try this but were made aware of the option only when told by the Bay of Plenty Times. She said she felt parents needed to be better informed about zoning rules and regulations.
