NATIONALLY CONSISTENT COLLECTION OF DATA

I have attached a letter for parents and carers that outlines the details and processes of this year’s Nationally Consistent Collection of Data. The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) takes place every year. The NCCD is a collection that counts:

• the number of school students receiving an adjustment or ‘help’ due to disability
• the level of adjustment they are receiving to access education on the same basis as other students.

Students are counted in the NCCD if they receive ongoing adjustments at school due to disability. This ‘help’ allows them to access education on the same basis as a child without disability. The NCCD uses the definition of disability in the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school number.

RETURNING TO SCHOOL FROM WEEK 5

As we return to school on a full-time basis from Week 5, it is understandable that some families and students might feel a level of stress or anxiousness. Please know that we are here to support you at this time. When returning to school, it is important to reassure your young person that school is a place where they can return to routine and familiarity and access support at any time. I have also attached some resources from ReachOut Australia around managing stress and looking after yourself during times of change. Some of the tips may come in handy in supporting your son, daughter or person in your care as they return to SJE.

Please also remember that our usual support network still exists. They can speak with their PALS teacher, Year Coordinators, classroom teachers or myself if support or advice is needed.
