Media & Public Questions
Who are you?
We are a volunteer-based group of Tamworth parents advocating for transparency and
evidence-based decision-making in education.
Are you opposed to co-education?
Our position is not about opposing or supporting co-education. It is about how decisions are made.
What do you want?
We are seeking transparency, clarification, and confidence in the consultation process — not advocating a predetermined outcome.
Why focus on Farrer?
Because of the scale of impact, the significance of the school, and the procedural concerns identified in the consultation process.
How many issues have you found?
More than 20 procedural red flags have been identified through independent review.
Are you political?
No. We are non-political and community-focused.
Will you expand to other schools?
At present, our work is limited to this matter.
What would success look like?
Success would be a transparent and accountable process that gives families confidence
that education decisions are being made through fair and evidence-based consultation.
