Whole school policies
ACT Education Directorate Policy Webpage
All policies relate to the administration of ACT public schools and the corporate policies applicable to the Education Directorate. Policies are used to guide Directorate procedures and provide consistent information to stakeholders. Schools use policies as a basis to develop school-based procedures that reflect the individual needs of schools. Policy contacts are Directorate staff who provide detailed information about specific policies. They are responsible for conducting policy development and review activities. Please direct this feedback to EDUGovernance@act.gov.au.
The new Policy Webpage provides one point of access to locate policies, procedures, guidelines and other supporting implementation materials. The Policy Webpage has been developed to simplify and improve access to policies by grouping related policies under common themes and search categories, providing a key word search option and an A-Z title search feature. Most policies have been transferred into the new policy template format. The original intent of those policies has not changed.
