Thank you for in the incredible support shown so far. Our noise is being heard by councillors and media.

Please be aware any donation via Change.org DOES NOT come to the parents organising and go towards the website only.

A petition is great for exposure, but it is critical for you to take the next step and put in written submissions to council. This is the most effective way to have your objection be heard and documented. Write your statement from your own voice, experience, and viewpoint to make the biggest impact!
