Community Update #9 Welcome Back



Welcome Back to School
All of our staff will be onsite together at school for the first time in 8 weeks on Monday 25 May.
There have been a small team of us available to work onsite for the past 6 weeks and we are looking forward to welcoming back the rest of the staff and then the Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 children on Tuesday. A BIG vote of thanks to our onsite team who have been very flexible over the past 6 weeks.

Thank you again to all parents and carers for your continued support of the Home Learning programme. Thanks to all of our staff for their continued dedication to our children and families.

Details about the staggered starting times for the Prep - Year 2 children are available in Community Update #8 at this link.

Just a reminder for parents to send the children in through the signposted gate. Please don't linger on the footpath to prevent congestion for other families.

Children arriving via scooters or bikes can enter on their own through the church gate.

TeamKids will accomodate the staggered start and finish times.

Access to the Onsite Intentions form for children of Year 3-6 families can be located FAQ 2 at this link.

Virtual Assembly #1, Awards and the SRC Tips
This week, the teachers chose the names of two students per class who demonstrated our core value of being positive through their engagement with the Home Learning programme.

We have prepared an assembly video announcing the awards for those children.

The SRC leaders were asked to shared something that they have improved on or that they are proud of achieving during the Home Learning period. Their video messages have been included in the virtual assembly too.

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD) On School Students with Disability
What is the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data?
Schools must now complete the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with
Disability (NCCD) every year. It counts the number of students who receive additional adjustments
or “help” at school because of a disability. The NCCD helps governments plan for the needs of
students with disability.
You can read the full details at the following link.
Here is the link to the NCCD document for parents and carers.
