Plotting our schools - check out our map
Thanks to the technical wizardry of Trevor at Netrix, we've added a map to our website, showing the locations of all the schools which have signed up to SchoolDocs. The one in the middle of the Pacific Ocean isn't a mistake - it represents Pitt Island School, although we had to move the marker a little closer to NZ so that it appears on the map!

Congratulations to Lyttelton West School on becoming a Code signatory
Lyttelton West has just been accepted as a signatory to the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students. This is great news for them, and also for SchoolDocs, as we were able to benefit from the Ministry of Education's careful scrutiny of our policies and procedures for international students - and yes, this resulted in some changes! We now feel very confident to promote them to other schools. Andrew Barker, principal at LWS, kindly said "I would like to thank Emma and the team at SchoolDocs for the stunning work they did to ensure our application to become a Code signatory was successful. They were extremely efficient, the whole process was very stress-free."
