Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about accessing and understanding our policies.

Who adopts school policies?

In terms of the SA Schools Act (84 of 1996), school policies are adopted by the SGB, often with input from the principal, staff, and parents. All policies on this page are SGB-approved.

How often are policies reviewed?

Most policies are reviewed every two to three years, or whenever legislation changes. The "Updated" date on each card reflects the most recent revision.

Why are some policies "On Request" only?

Some policies deal with confidential matters (e.g. staff disciplinary procedures, child protection details) and are provided directly to legitimate requesters rather than being published online. This protects the privacy of individuals involved.

Can I get a policy in another language?

Some policies are available in Sesotho and English. Please email the school office if you need a translation or an explanation of a specific policy.

What if I disagree with a policy?

Parents and community members are welcome to raise concerns through the Grievance Procedure (POL-GV-003) or by contacting the SGB secretary. All concerns are considered when policies are reviewed.

Are older versions available?

Yes, previous versions of any policy can be requested from the school office for reference purposes.

Questions About a Policy?

Our school office can help you locate a specific policy, explain its application, or discuss any concerns.
