Guidance for Proprietors and their agents in running an Integrated school
Guidance for Proprietors and their agents in running an Integrated school

The attached documentation is presented to enable those who are involved in running an Integrated school, with guidance which reflects the legislative obligations Proprietors have taken on as owners of an Integrated school.

Through their Integration Agreement with the Crown, Proprietors have entered into a partnership with the Crown based on various pieces of legislation.   It is obviously important that these obligations are carefully carried out given the legal basis of the relationship the Proprietor has with the Crown.

Proprietors and their agents are urged to familiarise themselves with these documents so they are better able to carry out their legal obligations.

The New Zealand Catholic Education Office as the agent for the Association of Proprietors of Integrated Schools is happy to provide support and guidance to anyone seeking information about these documents.
