Kelston Boys’ High resists conversion to charter school amid dispute over academic performance and leadership.
Kelston Boys’ High School in Auckland is resisting a bid by the Bangerz Education and Wellbeing Trust to convert it into a charter school, with school leadership calling the move unnecessary and harmful.
The trust, led by former board member Siaosi Gavet, cites a 12.1% University Entrance rate in 2024 as evidence of academic failure, proposing a leadership change and curriculum overhaul by January 2026.
The school disputes this, highlighting record NCEA Level 3 pass rates, national sports and cultural successes, and rising enrollment.
The PPTA and staff oppose the takeover, while the trust claims informal parent conversations show limited concern.
The Ministry of Education’s Charter School Authorisation Board will decide based on community, staff, and student support.
