Term 3 – Week 3 – Notices | Duncraig Primary Notices

Dear Parents and Carers,

Well, here we are in Week 3 already! We had a great week last week with our first worship sessions back on for certain year groups, with others having their turn as the rotations progress. Please do feel free to join us for those times, which are Monday morning in Years 3-6 and Friday mornings in the ELC. The roster for the ELC worship and assemblies can be found on your child’s class blog.

Thank you again for taking the time to fill out the survey regarding the online interviews. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will help guide our decisions moving forward.

A Bible passage to think through for the week, that sits beautifully with our school motto ‘Serve God, Serve One Another’, is James 2:15-17 (NIRV) – “Suppose a brother or a sister has no clothes or food. Suppose one of you says to them, “Go. I hope everything turns out fine for you. Keep warm. Eat well.” And suppose you do nothing about what they really need. Then what good have you done? It is the same with faith. If it doesn’t cause us to do something, it’s dead.”

Have a wonderful week.

Kind regards,

Jarrod Heglund and Hannah Lockwood-Jones

Dear Parents,

This is just a timely reminder to please drop off and collect your children at suitable times. In the different parts of the Primary School, staff are on duty at slightly different times, supervising the students. Please familiarise yourselves with the relevant information below.

ELC

There are no staff on duty before 8:15am.

Please note that OSH Club is available for all Primary students at the ELC, for before school and after school care. Their website is www.oshclub.com.au

YEARS 3-6

There are no staff on duty before 8:10am. Students who arrive between 8am and 8:10am may sit quietly in the Library. If at all possible, we would appreciate students arriving at school after 8:10am as we are unable to offer supervision until then. In the afternoon, staff are on duty from 3:10pm – 3:30pm. To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our children, we ask that students are collected before 3:30, or that parents are present after 3:30pm to provide supervision.

Thank you for your kind consideration in this regard.

Hannah Lockwood-Jones and Jarrod Heglund

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

Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers

Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). The NCCD process requires schools to identify information already available in the school about supports provided to students with disability. These relate to legislative requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005, in line with the NCCD guidelines (2019).

Information provided about students to the Australian Government for the NCCD includes:

year of schooling
category of disability: physical, cognitive, sensory or social/emotional
level of adjustment provided: support provided within quality differentiated teaching practice, supplementary, substantial or extensive.

This information assists schools to:

formally recognise the supports and adjustments provided to students with disability in schools
consider how they can strengthen the support of students with disability in schools
develop shared practices so that they can review their learning programs in order to improve educational outcomes for students with disability.

The NCCD provides state and federal governments with the information they need to plan more broadly for the support of students with disability.

The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child will not be involved in any testing process. The school provides data to the Australian Government – the privacy and confidentiality of all students is ensured. All information is protected by privacy laws that regulate the collection, storage and disclosure of personal information. To find out more about these matters, please refer to the Australian Government’s Privacy Policy (https://www.education.gov.au/privacy-policy).

Further information regarding the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data school students with disability, please visit: NCCD Portal (https://www.nccd.edu.au).

This is a national fact sheet about the NCCD for parents, guardians and carers.

If you have any queries regarding the NCCD, please contact the relevant Learning Enrichment staff.
