Columba College operates within a framework of policies and procedures approved by the School Board.

Together, policies and procedures provide a roadmap for day-to-day operations to ensure compliance with laws and regulations as well as guide decision making to ensure that decision making is efficient and consistent.

So that our policies and procedures are relevant and up to date, the College partners with “SchoolDocs”, and has in place an ongoing programme of self-review.

All policies and procedures of the College are reviewed on a triennial cycle. This term, the following policies and procedures will be reviewed:

• Te Tiriti o Waitangi
• Board Responsibility
• Parent Involvement
• Communicating with Parents
• Community Conduct Expectations
• Special Character
• Documentation and Self-Review
• School Planning and Reporting
• Reporting to Parents on Student Progress and Achievement

We take this opportunity to invite the College community to participate in this review. If you would like to participate, the policies and procedures are now open for comment via the SchoolDocs website, schooldocs.co.nz.

To comment, after accessing the SchoolDocs website, please select the school name – Columba College. After selecting the College name, you will be asked to enter a username and password as follows:
