School Docs

Our school uses SchoolDocs 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 will advise you when policies are up for review and how you can take part in the review.

BASKETBALL SPORTS COORDINATOR URGENTLY REQUIRED:

Our school relies on volunteers to help coordinate our teams and we are needing someone to take over the coordination of basketball.
 
It is a fairly smooth operation, with the most input required at the beginning of each year to gather registrations and create teams, from there most teams register directly per term.
 
The role may take approx. 5-10 hours a week (max) of your time.
 
This role needs someone who can take over before mid August. If you are interested, please contact silverdalesportshub@gmail.com for more info.
