MY CURRENT REQUEST TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION TO RECONSIDER AND FOR A MEETING
SUBJECT helping terminally ill family, late entry selective high schools test
TYPE OF ENQUIRY meeting request
MESSAGE
Dear Minister For Education,
Could I meet with you to explain in person why this is critical! My 11 year old son is brave in the extreme, has lived his life watching me fight this illness and i must persist to help him have this chance, its just to sit the test, no special favours, we complied with the late entry exemptions. the test is the 9th march, i may live to see him sit the test.
I attach a letter confirming I have terminal cancer was having extensive palliative surgery in Germany.
I was in fact away from 1st September to the 25th December for treatment of my advance cancer illness. I am home now and the stress and burden I place on my family is extreme. They all do there best to care for me and each other, this has been ongoing since may 2010. My most recent prognosis was dead on or before 28th January 2017, I am very ill and my wife just sent this email information. i have attached a brief letter from my doctor.
I hope you can allow my son to sit the selective schools test as he is very gifted, enjoys the after school preparation for the exam, he has been preparing since the beginning of the 2016 school year.
Its only due to my illness and the resulting pressure on the family that meant the correct application was not made.
It would be greatly appreciated if you consider our request, that Keith can sit the test and hopefully attend, Sydney technical college, which is very close to where I live.
I am doing my best to assist my son while I can. I teach him to never give up and do his best, he really deserves a shot at the test.

MY ORIGINAL REQUEST FOR SITTING THE SELECTIVE TEST BASED ON MY ILLNESS AND EFFECT ON FAMILY
Dear Selective Schools,
I attach a letter confirming I have terminal cancer was having extensive palliative surgery in Germany.
I was in fact away from 1st September to the 25th December for treatment of my advance cancer illness. I am home now and the stress and burden I place on my family is extreme. They all do there best to care for me and each other, this has been ongoing since may 2010. My most recent prognosis was dead on or before 28th January 2017, I am very ill and my wife just sent this email information. i have attached a brief letter from my doctor.
I hope you can allow my son to sit the selective schools test as he is very gifted, enjoys the after school preparation for the exam, he has been preparing since the beginning of the 2016 school year.
Its only due to my illness and the resulting pressure on the family that meant the correct application was not made.
It would be greatly appreciated if you consider our request, that Keith can sit the test and hopefully attend, Sydney technical college, which is very close to where I live.
I am doing my best to assist my son while I can.
sincere thanks,
Peter Trayhurn
THE VERY FAST, KIND, BUT UNSUCCESFUL ANSWER
I am very sympathetic to your circumstances but no part of the selective high school placement process can be based on compassionate grounds.
I remember writing to Mrs Trayhurn back on 1 December 2016. I understand the pressures your family faces but I simply cannot add another student at this very late stage when allocations to test centres have been completed and all personalised test papers have been sent out for printing.
Your child will be eligible to apply for Year 8 entry to a selective high school in June 2018 when he is in Year 7.
MY RESPECTFUL BUT UNYEILDING REPLY
also my family believes in the impossible, i believe in the impossible, thats why i am alive
but ill remain positive, its the way i am.
no more emails and sinscere thanks and goodluck, its a great program
I SAID NO MORE EMAILS, BUT THAT WAS TO THE KIND OVERWORKED LADY RUNNING THE PROGRAM, I WOKE TODAY AND DECIDED TO ASK GOD FOR HELP, TO ESCALTE TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND THEN TO THE MEDIA!
My son was so disappointed, he has been preparing since last year February. He buys his own morning tea and lunch at the super market, he tries to get himself to and from school to help his mother when i am not around, he has a strong independent streak. he helps me with my diet, my exercise, my supplements and is the most health aware 11 year old you'll ever meet! I am so proud of him, i am smiling as write this, he reads life extension magazine, he will be a great scientist i am sure, what field i leave to him. i am alive, i must help him, i show him how to ask, ill teach him to focus and pray for the result. now its ok to fail if you do your best, but i stay focused on success. we will walk to school today!!! some how i will have the strength for this walk, this is a very very brave child and i love him dearly! he may sit the test and fail, thats fine, thats life, i give him the chance to sit the test!
for the record, i was vomiting and weak and the sickest ive ever been in germany around the of the application close date, i has massive surgery 28th november, that im still recovering from and my cancer has been growing. my prognosis was 28th january!!!!
the impossible just takes faith and a smile, we will see, i do my best! i teach this lesson above all lessons! my son sees my love, so do you, ultimately its what drives my bigger miracle.
details of which are on my GOFUNDME
I awake 5,15am, soon Ill start my coffee enema and german infusions. tonight is date night with wife we see 50 shades at vmax. The kids are organised to goto to dancing and stay there and get a taxi home. They are the best kids and I think they like that mum and dad go on a date, special date considering the pressures we have all experienced the last years since my diagnosis with late stage cancer in may 2010.
as in everything i do, anything I do could be this last time I do it. the strength to walk, smile, go on dates, drive the kids around, could be fleeting or enduring depending on my continued response to combined therapies that my Australian doctors now describe as miraculous. its such a nice word, ill even have energy to attend church and healing this saturday i pray.
last night i came home and kicked the kids off gaming computers and skyping friends. it was after 10pm and reminded them about food and sleep. they protest, they smile, they comply and they hear my coughing. I asked them if i was to harsh and they nodded, i smiled, we all smiled, they nibbled on some supper, it was 11pm. my daughter helped with infusions, my son and i cleared the table and i did the garbage. so much garbage from my german infusions!
i am coughing too much. is it the cancer ? i nod and cough more. i cannot really bullshit them, i dont want too.
so despite great news in the bloods the apparent reality is i am crumbling from the cancer, while the bloods say i am getting better, even my oncolist asked how do i feel. my answer perplexing JOYFULLY CRAPPY, FULL OF HOPE, IMMORTAL!!!!!!!
the truth is i feel invincible and i want to go to germany asap to fight using every trick in my very large book. im taking the minimum cost, maximum speed and effect legal action to cleanup will, estates, tax planning, estate planning, health planning, education for the kids, fun for me, fun for family and to use this TIME wisely.
I still find time to gaze at the clouds, to say thanks to Gods, to breathe, the BLISS is still real while I heal!!!!!
this extra time, its so special, its preciousness not lost to me, but I want more PLEASE DEAR LORD and I am very grateful for yesterdays results.
I leave my phone uncharged, im in my little bubble, full of peace, offline , not online, but so connected
the abdominal pain and bloating is real, the nausea is real, as real as the strength and focus i feel. so many friends and family wrote me off, godbless them, they have no clue about our power to heal , the power thats kept me alive, thats keepinjg me alive and to achieve what
more fun, more love and more lessons
we finished dinner and i shared the email below with my son and daughter, my son asked can i sit the exam ? i said not yet the answer was no. this is the selective high schools test due on the 9th march that he has spent 18 months preparing for, but we missed the cutoff due to my illness and the request i just made was refused as compassion has no part in the process.
one one hand i accept and understand this, but as a father in my unique unique situation, indeed my privileged situation of having this time. when i am a spirit one he will of the lessons his father taught him, todays is to never give up, not to take no as a final answer and to smile at adversity and to ask for help and to pray
MAYBE THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM !
