Article Spotlight: Building Resilience in Young Children (Ages 3–8)
As an example of the resources available, we highly recommend checking out their practical guide on resilience.
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from life's challenges, big and small. For children aged 3 to 8, learning how to handle frustrations, adapt to changes, and keep trying when things get tough is an essential part of their social and emotional development.
This article provides everyday strategies parents can use to help children build their inner strength, manage big emotions and face new situations with confidence.

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.
The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child will not be involved in any testing process. 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.
