Parent/Adult Help & Police Vetting

All caregiver/adult helpers must be Police vetted by Orewa College to attend school trips and manage/coach teams. Once you have been vetted, it is valid for 3 years.

Police vetting must be done by Orewa College, vets from other institutions/organisations are not valid and cannot be shared.

Police vetting needs to be done in advance of the trip/event as it can take some time to process at NZ Police.

For more information please email admin@orewacollege.nz
