School Policies

Here is where to go to find all our school policies. We use School Docs which is a service that updates policies to include all the latest legislation but is also customised to our school – our Board of Trustees, management and school community update these as needed.

Here’s how to look at them:

  1. Go to schooldocs.co.nz
  2. Click Search for your school.
  3. Start typing the school’s name and select it from the dropdown list.
  4. Enter the community username: southend
    and password: south
