Request for Adopted Gender Position Paper & Related Clarification

Sarah Thomson made this Official Information request to Kingsway School

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Sarah Thomson to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Sarah Thomson

Dear KingsWay School and Board of Trustees,

I note in the minutes for the Board of Trustees meeting on 12th August 2024 that a paper "NZCPT's Gender Position Statement" is introduced. It was then adopted as the KingsWay School Boards official position in the meeting on 23rd September 2024.

I am kindly requesting:

1. The statement mentioned in the August meeting notes, 6.1 NZCPT Gender Position Statement and Guidance, “NZCPT Gender Position Statement”

2. Any policies and procedures proposed or introduced from this position as mentioned in the August meeting notes, 6.1 NZCPT Gender Position Statement and Guidance, “The Proprietor requests that the KWS Board adopts the gender position statement and then work out their policy and procedures using this document.”

3. Any documentation of the consultation with the school community in regards to proposed or introduced procedures as referred to within the response to my first OIA request as received on 15 May 2025, “...should the KingsWay School Board choose to adopt it, then any proposed school policies formed from it would go through a process of consultation with the school community before any ratification or publication.”

4. Clarification on if "NZCPT's Gender Position Statement" supersedes “KWT Gender Position Paper” for the purposes of a KIngsWay School gender position statement. I am seeking to understand if the "NZCPT" statement has replaced the "KWT" statement as I note that in response to my last request you stated, “The KingsWay Trust (...) presented this paper to KingsWay School Board for feedback from KingsWay School Board and officers and employees of the school and that process has not yet finalised.”

Faithfully yours,

Sarah
