Haeata Community Campus principal Peggy Burrows has rejected claims that public money was misused on an $18,500 Queenstown trip for six senior staff, insisting the spending was board-approved, transparent, and aligned with national “professional development” guidelines.
The Auditor-General’s annual report, which flagged 21 schools for questionable use of principal development funds and highlighted 27 schools needing financial guarantees, raised concerns about “sensitive expenditure” across the sector, including overseas travel and personal activities at other schools.
Burrows said the Queenstown trip coincided with her SPANZ Conference attendance and involved leadership training and a visit to Wakatipu High School. The report also criticised inadequate documentation and personal travel charges at several schools, stressing any personal component must not cost taxpayers.
Haeata remains under scrutiny following last week’s mouldy school lunch controversy, with a Ministry for Primary Industries investigation finding the spoiled meals were likely left out for days by staff before being served.

That was a holiday at the taxpayers expense. Fire her.
Some of these teachers are well out of control, and need reigning in, reprimanded, and probably sacked.
She is a prime candidate for the DCM.
Some of these teachers are out of control. She is a prime example and should be reprimanded, disciplined and probably sacked.
Just teach our kids lady, and do your job.
Hmmmm, what interesting timing……..The fact too Burrows can offer evidence regarding the food, whilst the govt only offer an “opinion”, is telling as well. Time for this so called govt to go come 2026.
If the sheeple wouldn’t be appeased with hand-outs and social crumbs, they would realize that such is only temporary and ficitious. The hard face plant will be felt by almost everyone. And then God have mercy with anyone in parliament. The current rats will have jumped ship, leaving the sheeple dealing with the mess governments over the last 40 years have brought upon us.
Peggy Burroughs was at one time the principal of Rangiora High School.
A hidden battle raged there, and the school board forced her out, despite protests from the students that she was helping.
No one in the Waimakariri / Rangiora really knew why Burroughs left Rangiora High School…possibly because she was not conforming to their globalist agendas or faced-off against the truly evil ‘powers-that-be’ there in town after seeing how corrupt the region truly was! (Old Masonic farmers, Satanist operating in key positions, gangster activities, etc.)
A relative of ours in the Waimakariri District who is leaving for Oz noted that people get targeted there simply from malicious gossip!
If you speak out about the massive paedophilia and CYFS child-stealing network there, you get physically attacked as did one senior citizen who spoke out and ended-up in the hospital from an ‘unknown attacker at night’ on her own property when she was taking out the rubbish.
The cops won’t do anything….their lack of action indicates that they could be part of the problem!
If ‘they’ don’t want you in Rangiora, they engage in efforts to run you out of town based on nationalities, family name, etc.
The latest mouldy lunch fiasco was probably orchestrated and targeted Burroughs to make her look bad…
I don’t even think that Seymour called and spoke with Burroughs about the ongoing Compass problem…!
We noted that when a symposium regarding autistic children was held occasionally in NZ, members from the MoE and MoH would attend and ended-up making the same a meet-up and socialisation day.
The items discussed, taught and recommendations made to help autistic students never were, are not now, and never will be implemented by these lazy fuckwits!
They could care less about those students who are ASD- the MoE’s Darwinistic attitudes would quietly like to see such students go away, similar to Germany in 1934!
THAT IS WHY WE HOME-SCHOOL!
You touch on VERY important correlations. Please offer even more introspective in what will develop into a wasp nest. You are right over target.
Hand in the cookie jar.
Who is behind this Public Private Partnership?
Haeata Community Campus is part of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) called NZ Schools II PPP, established with the New Zealand Ministry of Education, managed by Morrison & Co, a global investment manager, who secured a large sustainability loan for this and other schools. The private involvement comes from this consortium led by Morrison & Co, which handles design, financing, construction, and maintenance for 25 years, in partnership with the government.
Key Private Partners/Investors:
• Morrison & Co: The lead private entity, an investment manager overseeing the PPP.
• Commonwealth Bank (CBA): Acted as the sole sustainability coordinator and co-lender for the significant sustainability loan.
Structure of the Partnership:
• Public (Ministry of Education) & Private (Morrison & Co-led consortium): A long-term agreement (25 years) for asset management.
• Focus: The private sector finances, builds, and maintains the school facilities, while the government provides core education.
Great info. Govt will be judged.
Home School.
Corrupt! Principals like this who needs enemies? Wondering how the kids and parents feel? That’s a lot of coin for 6 people on pretty good money anyway! But who cares about the students, the board can charge students more easy fix NOT!!! This is the trouble with NZ people earning too much money think they can spend tax payer money however they wish, including government – it’s got to sSTOP sick of paying these people while we struggle
Six staff plus Peggy Burroughs going to Q-Town for the amount of time there would equate to about NZ$18K.
A family of four going to Rotorua for just 3 days ended-up as NZ$6K, so the costly trips to New Zealand locations are actually more expensive than going down to Flight Centre and booking an Oz holiday for a week for four people!!
Here are the REAL problems that this NZ Zio-Globalist Uni-Party Government are promoting; be aware of these and plan alternatively to avoid the Zio-Global traps they have planned;

Thank you for the coal face report. The tourist trap fees are prohibitive to NZ families.
