New Zealand High Schools at The Names Database

Derek Robson, we just wanted to let you know that we recently added New Zealand high schools to The Names Database . Now all of our 142,962 New Zealand members can reunite and keep in touch with their classmates, including you!

We compiled the list of New Zealand high schools using data from the New Zealand government . If your school is not listed, or you notice a mistake, we would be happy to fix it . Just click here to report an error .

Hmmmm, interesting Jen. Did you notice that line that says:
"Most basically, The Names Database is a private community of about twelve million members..." Private? 12,000,000 members? Strewth, that is an interesting concept!!!! :confused:
