Oaklands School subscribes to SchoolDocs, a collaborative venture between experienced educationalists and a specialist policy & procedure company.
SchoolDocs has developed a core set of policies and procedures that are applicable to all primary schools in New Zealand. The policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and updated based on feedback from the self-review activities of subscribing schools and from other expert advice as required. A specialised content management system allows the policies and procedures to be tailored to each school’s unique circumstances, and published to school-specific web sites.
The entire system is geared to allow subscriber schools to avoid re-inventing the wheel thousands of times over, to dramatically reduce costs, improve the effectiveness of their policies and procedures, and free-up trustees and staff to focus on more important activities.
