Parent Helpers Needed
Do you have any spare time to volunteer as a parent helper to work 1:1 with students? If so, we would LOVE to hear from you.
At St MM’s we have programs we use to help support the learning of students in the classroom. These programs include MiniLit and Multilit (to assist with phonemic awareness) and a NEW program called JEMM - (Junior Elementary Maths Mastery) that will be started with students in Years 4 and 5. You will be provided with all materials, a script and answers!
The more volunteers we have, the more students we can offer these programs to. So if you have any spare time in the week, could you please let me know by emailing danielle.frost@syd.catholic.edu.au
To be a volunteer, Sydney Catholic Schools requires you to follow the steps below. You must hold a current WWCC (Working With Childrens Check) Volunteer Number to complete this process -
Go to the following link
- select the orange bar working with children check,
- select the orange box on the right volunteers / researchers
- complete the three steps
If you do not have a WWCC, but would still like to volunteer, please email me anyway.
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD)
The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) takes place every year. The NCCD is a collection that counts:
• the number of school students receiving an adjustment or ‘help’ due to disability • the level of adjustment they are receiving to access education on the same basis as other students.
Students are counted in the NCCD if they receive ongoing adjustments at school due to disability. This ‘help’ allows them to access education on the same basis as a child without disability.
At St MM’s, our teachers and staff are constantly monitoring and reviewing plans and adjustments in place for our students to help them fulfil their potential. We have a school-wide approach to this process and welcome collaboration with parents and carers. For more information on the NCCD please see the parent information letter https://www.nccd.edu.au/sites/default/files/nccd_parent_fact_sheet_english_0.pdf
