As you will know, there is a lot of anger at the Government's decision to cut funding to night classes by 80% - a cut which will effectively mean the end to affordable, life-long learning in local high schools around NZ after the end of this year.

We have been fighting these cuts and thank everyone who has signed the petition, sent a postcard, written a letter or email and even visited their local MP to discuss the issue.

We are now marching to Parliament to show the Government the strength of feeling against the cuts and again ask for your support.

Please join us this Tuesday 4 August. The march will leave Wellington High School at 2.15pm, aiming to arrive at Parliament by 3pm.

The route will be from Gate 4 on Taranaki Street (by the pedestrian crossing next to the school gym - please assemble around the gym outside area), then down Taranaki Street, along Dixon Street to Victoria Street, then down Manners Street to Willis Street and along Lambton Quay to Parliament. If you can't be at the start, just join us along the way or meet us at Parliament.

Please spread the word - we need to show the Government that this is a short-sighted decision that will have an impact on all communities around New Zealand.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information - and apologies if this email has already been sent to you.

Regards
Robyn
