SCHOOLDOCS

Jennifer Horgan —

East Taieri School has been working with SchoolDocs to create a website for our policies and procedures. This site went live for our school community last year.

The school works on a subscription basis with SchoolDocs to maintain, update, and review our policies. SchoolDocs provides us with a comprehensive core set of policies, which have been well researched and follow the Ministry of Education National Administration Guidelines. The policies and procedures are tailored to our school, and the school supplies specific information such as our charter, and procedures for behaviour management, reporting to parents, etc.

SchoolDocs updates, modifies, or creates policies in response to changes in legislation or Ministry guidelines, significant events, reviews/requests from schools, and regular reviewing from the SchoolDocs team. Our board of trustees has the opportunity to view changes/additions and comment on them before they are implemented. 

We invite you to visit the site at https://east-taieri.schooldocs.co.nz (note that there's no "www."). Our username is "east-taieri" and password "owhiro".

Review Instructions

In term two, the focus is on the Healthcare and Behaviour Management sections. See the full Review and Board Assurances Schedule .

Who reviews our policies and procedures?

  • Reviews are open to board, staff, and the school community (parents/caregivers/whānau).
  • Anyone can review any policy/procedure that has a red, review flag.

The board is responsible for board-level overarching policies. The table below shows which topics the board should review. Note that other reviewers can review these topics too; they're not exclusively for the board.

Get started

To start reviewing, click on a topic name below, then click the red UNDER REVIEW flag (top right hand corner of the page). If a link is inactive, your school doesn't have the topic.

Note that if you'd like to provide feedback on a topic that's not listed below, you can still do so if it has a red review flag.
