Australian Early Development Census (AEDC)
Our school will participate in the AEDC between May and July this year. The AEDC is a national census conducted every three years by the Australian Government, in partnership with state and territory governments. It measures how children have developed by the time they start their first year of full-time school.
Ā
The AEDC is voluntary and does not measure how well children are doing at school or how their school compares to others. Instead, it shows how children are growing and progressing in five key areas, highlighting what is being done well and what can be improved. AEDC data is used by schools, early childhood organisations, researchers, and governments to plan and improve services and supports for children and families. This is why it is important for all children in their first year of school to be included in the AEDC.
Ā
To learn more about how AEDC data is used, visit https://www.aedc.gov.au/.
Ā
As we continue through the term, let's carry forward this momentum of enthusiasm and dedication. Together, let's create more moments of joy, discovery, and achievement, nurturing the potential within each of our students and strengthening the bonds within our cherished St. Joseph's School Community.
Ā
God bless,
Sarah Iddles
