Kia Ora whaanau,
Our school works with SchoolDocs to provide a website for maintaining, updating, and reviewing our school policies. Different policies are under review each term and our school community can submit feedback.
Follow the instructions below to contribute to the review.
Note that you can review any policy that has a “Start your review” button, not just the key policies listed in Current review and review instructions. There will be other related policies in that section of the site open for review.
If you don't have internet access, school office staff can provide you with printed copies of the policy and a review form.
We encourage our whaanau to be informed with our policies and regularly review them as part of the smooth running of our kura.
Ngaa manaakitanga,
Adam and the team at Te Paina
Parents, please support our local businesses
