Policies
Shire Christian has a range of policies and procedures to help ensure that the school runs well. These documents relate to topics such as anti-bullying, student behaviour and discipline, privacy, grievances, child protection, enrolments and documents about site safety such as evacuation. While the school is happy to provide parents with copies of policies and procedures, we would prefer that parents have a conversation with a staff member to help ensure that their specific inquiries are effectively addressed. If you would like to discuss a particular topic and read documents relevant to your question or concern, please contact school reception and they will direct you someone who can help you. Parents are welcome to provide feedback and suggestions to improve our school’s policies and procedures.
