4.1 The monitoring focus items will be provided for sign-off on the CEMIS under "ADMINISTRATION".
4.2 The principal will capture responses online.
4.3 The IMG managers will make an appointment to discuss the responses, and the completed sheet will be signed by both parties.
4.4 The principal will sign off on the CEMIS.
4.5 The signed hard copy will be retained by the IMG manager for auditing purposes. A second signed hard copy should be retained by the school principal for the same reason.
