 Police Vetting

All caregivers and adult helpers must be Police vetted by Orewa College to attend school trips or manage/coach teams. The vetting process is valid for 3 years once completed.

  • Note: Police vetting from other institutions or organisations is not valid for Orewa College.

  • Police vetting must be completed before attending any trip/event as it may take time to process with NZ Police.
