Wellbeing
Coronavirus has enlisted us all in a giant social experiment, where the work, family and social lives we’ve known have been tipped on their heads. Add the responsibility of learning at home to the mix, and the uncertainty and anxiety can feel overwhelming.
Dannielle Miller, an expert in fostering resilience in children, writes about the importance of parents giving themselves permission to be human, through having the conversation with their kids that it’s a tough time, they will lose patience, and that it is normal.
Professor Lea Waters talks about her own experiences with her children while in isolation.

LEARNING DIVERSITY
Our school works very hard to support all our students. At different times, some students may need extra support to enable them to access the curriculum. The support we offer to students can look different depending on the type of support required. To facilitate this, we need funding.
It is very important to us that our students feel accepted and respected for who they are and are given every opportunity to thrive.
All schools are now required to consistently collect data, at a National level, on the number of students being supported and the many ways, and the degree to which, students are supported in schools. This is referred to as the NCCD – Nationally Consistent Collection of Data.
This data is used to determine the amount of funding schools receive to support students who require extra assistance. The NCCD information sheet is attached for parents to read to explain the funding process that has been undertaken.
We will be submitting our data for the previous 12 months on August 7th, 2020.
Attached to the newsletter today is an information sheet for parents and carers to further explain the data collection process.
