Safeguarding and Strengthening Catholic Special Character
Annual Internal Review & Evaluation Report (from the Proprietor's Appointees) to the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch (the Proprietor of all diocesan schools)
The annual internal review & evaluation report to the Proprietor, from the Proprietor's Appointees, is required to be forwarded to the Bishop in December of each year.
The annual internal review & evaluation report to the Proprietor consists of the Board's internal self-review & evaluation report on one of the three dimensions of the Catholic Special Character Review and Development document. The cycle of review & evaluation reporting to the Proprietor is found in the table below.
In stating that the annual internal review & evaluation report is from the Proprietor's Appointees to the Proprietor, the Bishop is very much aware that the process of review & evaluation involves consultation with the school community, and that the compilation/writing of such reports is a collaborative exercise. Such a collaborative exercise in compiling/writing of the annual internal review & evaluation report would require, at the very least, the Principal (and for much of the report, the Director of Religious Studies) working with the Proprietor's Appointees, in order to produce a comprehensive internal review & evaluation report for the Proprietor, the Board of Trustees, and the school community.
The Bishop does realise that December is a hectic time of year and your Board may be waiting to receive its end-of-year internal self-review & evaluation report until its first Board meeting in the new calendar year. If this is the case, Proprietor's Appointees are required to forward this report to the Bishop by 1 March of the new calendar year.
By way of reminder, the calendar for internal review & evaluation reports will be according to the following three-year cycle:
Year | Dimension for Internal Review & Evaluation Report to the Proprietor and the School Community |
2018 | Religious Education |
2019 | Christian Witness |
2020 | Encounter with Christ |
