Policies & Procedures

Our kura has been working with a separate website for our policies and procedures.  

The school works on a subscription basis with SchoolDocs to maintain, update, and review our policies. SchoolDocs provides us with a comprehensive core set of policies which have been well researched and follow the Ministry of Education National Administration Guidelines. The policies and procedures are tailored to our school, and the school supplies specific information such as our charter, and procedures for behaviour management, reporting to parents, etc. 

SchoolDocs updates, modifies, or creates policies in response to changes in legislation or Ministry guidelines, significant events, reviews/requests from schools, and regular reviewing from the SchoolDocs team. Our board of trustees has the opportunity to view changes/additions and comment on them before they are implemented.

We invite you to visit the site at http://houghton.schooldocs.co.nz/ 

Our username is houghton and password 6023. You can find all our policies on this site, including our Child Protection Policy.

If you don’t have internet access, school office staff can provide you with printed copies of the policy and a review form.

From time to time, members of our school community are asked to participate in reviews, with the intent of strengthening current school policy.

If you have any queries relating to the SchoolDocs site, or our review process, please contact the school.
