Nationally Consistent Collection od Data of School Students with Disability (NCCD)

In the Week Four Newsletter, I presented information about the NCCD process, what it is, what it means for students with a disability and what data is collected. 

We have been provided with a number of easy to read guides for parents and carers. Please see below:

Carpark Pickup

Thank you to all of the parents and carers who have been displaying the last name signs for pick up. We have noticed carpark pickup has become a lot safer and easy to monitor over the last week. 

We have found that sometimes when the last name sign is on the car dashboard, we might not be able to see it well. A suggestion is to put it underneath the passenger side viser or up against the passenger side window. 

Thank you also to the parents who have ensured their children are in close proximity to them during carpark pickup. We appreciate your support in making this time of the day easier to monitor for teachers and safer for our students. 

ACT Cross Country Championships

A big congratulations to Alex Richardson who has qualified to represent the Belconnen Region in the ACT Cross Country Championships. 

Child Safety

Did you know that Catholic Education and our school has a Child Safe Policy which outlines our approach to child safety. This can be accessed on the Catholic Education Safeguarding Page. We encourage you to visit this page and review our policy. As part of our approach to child safety I am also our schools Child Safe Advocate who works closely with our school regarding our approach and response to child safety matters. This approach involves pro active strategies to safeguard our students as well as responding to areas of concerns. The area of child safety includes many parts of a schools operation such as day to day activities, school events and school camps. We encourage you to contact us should you like to discuss this further.
