Grandparents and Special Friends Day

It was wonderful to have so many Grandparents and Special friends join us last Friday. We hope you enjoyed our performance as much as the children enjoyed singing and dancing for you. The children not only performed well they also made an excellent audience, sitting quietly to watch the Prep School children sing and play the instruments. What a lovely coming together of our community. It was fabulous to see so many people enjoying morning tea with the children in the garden and exploring the activities in the classrooms. If you have any feedback regarding this event, please feel free to email chuon@redlands.nsw.edu.au.

Seniors and Transition Gold Sports Day

Students ran, played and cheered their friends on for Redlands House annual Sports Day yesterday. It was a great success and enjoyed very much by the children and their supporters. Special thanks to Coach Carter, Miss Dongas and Mr Hemopo for organising and running the event. A big thank you also to the Yrs 5 and 6 helpers, not only did they support all of the children in their participation, they ensured the event ran smoothly and cheered and encouraged the children too.

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

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 school will provide data to the Australian Government in such a way that no individual student will be able to be identified – the privacy and confidentiality of all students is ensured. Further information about the NCCD can be found on the NCCD can be found on the NCCD Portal.

If you have any questions about the NCCD, please contact Mrs Lisa Ole (Coordinator of Learning Support K-12).
