Policies
Governance and Operational Policies and Procedures guide how we effectively manage our school. The Board is responsible for the policies, and the Staff are responsible for the procedures. Only the policies will be available online.
We welcome you to come and view all policies and procedures at the school office at any time.
Policy Review
The Board is responsible for setting the direction of the school and as part of this regularly reviews our policies. If you have any comments, or changes you'd like to make, please reach out to any Board member, or Alicia specifically who currently heads the Policy Review Committee.
We currently have three policies under review that we are specifically calling for input on:
Bullying Prevention and Response Policy (2022)
Even though the review of this was completed last year, it is a new policy so needs to go through its paces and have any issues ironed out. It is also one that many people feel very strongly about and so we really want to get this right.
Should always be read alongside the Positive Behaviour Management Policy (2022)
Policies
Curriculum
Finance
Will need to be reviewed this year as The Board has agreed to an increase in the per-meeting honorarium, while keeping the yearly limits the same.

Latest draft version: Board Member's Code of Behaviour (2023)

Has been split up into multiple policies. Latest draft versions of these:

Bullying Prevention and Response Policy (2022).
