Pathways Expo

It was wonderful to welcome so many parents and students to the College last night for the Pathways Expo. It was a wonderful opportunity to explore the available pathways and subject options in the senior years and to ask questions about courses.

The next couple of weeks will be busy with student interviews and online subject selections. We encourage all students and their families to take some time to discuss the options and read through the available information in order to make informed decisions regarding subject selections.

Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews

Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews are scheduled for Term 3. Interviews will once again be conducted online in order to provide as much opportunity as possible for parents to partner with the College. These will be conducted on the dates and times indicated below:

Monday 1 August	Wednesday 10 August
2.30pm to 8:00pm	10.00am to 8.00pm

Further details regarding specific details of the events and booking instructions will be provided in a letter to all families early next week.

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data Notice

Each year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). Kilbreda will again be participating in this process over the coming months. 

The NCCD process requires Kilbreda to identify information already available in the school about ways that we are supporting students with an identified disability. We do this as part of our requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005, and 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); and 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 they can review their learning programs in order to improve educational outcomes for students with disabilities.

Further information about the NCCD can be found on the NCCD Portal.  See the Parent Information Sheet below.

If you have any further questions about the NCCD, please do not hesitate to contact the Head of Learning Diversity at the College
