All schools have to provide a safe physical and emotional environment for students and staff.
Schools can search and confiscate student property providing you comply with the legislation and you can justify your actions as reasonable and necessary to keep the environment safe.
Generally a student’s family is expected to take overall responsibility for a student before they arrive at school and after they leave.
Older students who are trusted by their families to make their own choices and decisions will take on their own responsibility. Others such as transport operators, community members and the Police all play different roles in relation to the travel of students.
Generally students are not considered to be within the jurisdiction of the board or principal outside of school time and off the school site.
A family group conference is a semi-formal intervention with a child’s family, whānau or family group to sort out problems with the child's or young person’s care and protection or offending.
A number of guardianship or family issues may involve the school. Generally schools and their staff are not expected to arbitrate or mediate in family issues. Most are best resolved by families themselves, or the Family Court if the family cannot reach agreement.
Protection orders are issued by the Family Court and must be treated seriously by schools.
Community, whānau, family
