Governance Policy Framework

NZCEO have adapted the NZSTA governance framework to meet the needs of Catholic school boards. The policies are examples and can be altered to meet the needs of each school board and their community.  The sample policies are word documents that can be downloaded and amended as required. Your board can download some, or all, of these sample documents or create your own using the sample policies as a guide.

•  The governance framework is made up of four parts.  Each policy in Part B - D follow the same format - each has an outcome statement, scoping, expectations and limitations, and refers to relevant legislation. Some policies include key related school procedures, and the board’s monitoring and reporting expectations.

• Catholic Special Character additions are highlighted in yellow. If the policy has been written solely by NZCEO (e.g. Catholic Special Character Policy) then only the title is highlighted.

• Information about the NZSTA governance framework and how it works can be found on the NZSBA website
