ASHS Update – Term Two, Week Seven 2021
Kia ora whanau,
A few important updates this week!
School Docs is coming!
We are about to have a change in our policy administration system. Albany Senior High School will be using SchoolDocs to maintain a comprehensive, up-to-date, set of policies and procedures. These policies and procedures follow guidelines and legislation and best practice, and have been tailored for our school.
All previously published versions of ASHS policies will be considered out of date after this change. Members of our school community will have access to SchoolDocs once we transition over to this system.
The Policies section on our public website will be updated to reflect the change.

It is anticipated that we will make this change in the coming week.
