Answer

In the 2024 new schools application round, Bangerz Education and Wellbeing Trust did not pass stage two of the process (for Auckland Sports College). Therefore, the Charter School Agency did not seek the views of the Ministry of Education. In the 2025 application round they did not make the shortlist (Auckland Secondary College).
