Pathways and Subject Selections

The next few 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 just a few weeks away. 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:

• Thursday 3 August
  2.30pm to 8:00pm
• Monday 10 August
  10.00am to 6.00pm

Further information regarding specific details of the events and booking instructions will be provided in a letter to all families 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; and develop shared practices so they can review their learning programs in order to improve educational outcomes for students with disability.

Further information about the NCCD can be found on the NCCD Portal.  To read the information sheet for parents see below.

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