ABSTRACT
This chapter traces the struggle of one low socio-economic New Zealand school to change the inherent institutionalised racism in the education system. The school has faced powerful opposition from Ministry of Education officials as well as principals in neighbouring schools towards its passion to change the structure and content of schooling to meet the needs of its students. Every student in the school, Clover Park Middle School in South Auckland, is from a so-called 'minority' including the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Māori.
