Please read the following comments for each worksheet.
Mergers
1 | For clarity and convenience, schools relating to the same merger have been grouped in colour bands
2 | In the mergers that are due to a Network Review, two or more schools merge, and one of them is designated the continuing school (continuing school).
3 | Where a school is NOT the continuing school, it is closed.
4 | For the sake of administrative integrity, the continuing school is given a new number.  This means that it is “closed off” on the database, but set up again as a ‘new’ school, with a new number.
5 | Where a re-numbered continuing school has not been given a new name, the original school with that name has had "(Closed)" added to their name, to avoid confusion.
6 | In most situations the designated continuing school will continue to operate from its current site.  But sometimes it will move to the site of one of the closing schools.
7 | Where there is a change of site, this is indicated in the column headed “Extra Notes".
8 | In some Network Reviews one or more schools have been replaced with a new school, rather than merged.
9 | To find out contact details (postal and location address) for the ‘new’ schools, please consult the Directory of NZ Schools on the Ministry’s website at the link below.  Note that you will need to scroll to the bottom of the page for the download button.

Closures
1 | Some closures are simple closures.  Some are due to mergers.
2 | Where a school has closed due to a merger, the "Reason for Closure" column shows all the schools involved in the merger, as well as the new number (and name, where relevant) of the continuing school.
3 | Where a re-numbered continuing school has not been given a new name, the original school with that name has had "(Closed)" added to their name, to avoid confusion.
New Schools
1 | Some new schools are simply brand-new schools.  Some are re-numbered continuing schools resulting from mergers or network reviews.
2 | Where a new school is the result of a merger, all the schools involved in the merger are listed in the "Comments" column
3 | To find out contact details (postal and location address) for the new schools, please consult the Directory of NZ Schools on the Ministry’s website at the link below.  Note that you will need to scroll to the bottom of the page for the download button.  To find a school:  highlight the name or school number column (A or B), press "Control F" and type in the name or number you want.
