Policies and Guidelines
These pieces of legislation, policies and guides apply to schools. It may be worth knowing what they say, suggest and require.
Ordinances
An ordinance is a piece of legislation passed by the Synod. We, as a diocese, have been given significant privilege in being able to make and amend legislation in NSW.
Policies
The Synod also provides parishes, organisations and schools with policies to follow. While not legislation, they do make clear the priorities and expectations of the Synod.
