We are only four weeks into Term 2, and Kilbreda students have already been involved in so many opportunities. Opportunities to learn, to grow and experience the amazing world around us. Our Debating teams have been representing the College well and achieved some fantastic results. Sporting teams have been tearing up the courts, the Kilbreda Festival was an amazing success with a huge variety of talent on display and we are in the midst of rehearsals for the production of Legally Blonde.

What a privilege and a blessing it is to be part of this wonderful community.

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.
