Our School’s Policies and Procedures are managed online by SchoolDocs. They are maintained and updated regularly to make sure they comply with the Ministry of Education requirements and follow the Ministry best-practice guidelines.

Policies are reviewed at regular intervals. Reviews are open to board, staff, and parents/caregivers/whānau. Parents will be informed via school newsletter when a policy is up for review. Reviewers can rate policy content as well as its implementation and they can offer comments on both.

In 2022, all schools will review the Health, Safety, and Welfare Policy section throughout the year. The main, overarching policy will be reviewed at the end of the year.

This term we are reviewing topics in the Safety On and Off School Grounds section along with Health, Safety, and Welfare Policy. The term 4 review will close on Friday 9 December.
