Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD)

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 below letter outlines some important information for parents and carers:

Building Good Routines for Learning

Homework and study help students practise skills, reinforce learning, and prepare for assessments. While the amount of homework may vary across year levels, building good habits early makes a big difference over time.Students who develop consistent study routines are more likely to:

  • stay organised
  • manage their time effectively
  • feel prepared for assessments
  • experience less stress around deadlines

One of the biggest challenges for students is not the work itself, but getting started and staying organised.

What this means for your child:

Strong routines don’t need to be complicated—they just need to be consistent.How you can support at home:

  • Set a regular time for homework each day
  • Provide a quiet, distraction-free space for study
  • Encourage your child to break tasks into smaller steps
  • Check in on upcoming deadlines and tasks

Melbourne Indigenous STEM Education Program (MISEP)

On Monday, 20 July, our Year 9 students had the opportunity to take part in an Indigenous-led workshop provided by the Melbourne Indigenous STEM Education Program (MISEP) from the University of Melbourne.

The workshop explored what fire is, fire starting, vegetation regrowth, environmental and sustainability effects caused by controlled fires, and the impact that Indigenous cultural burns have had on reducing environmental catastrophe. Students were even able to try fire starting themselves with wooden sticks and planks provided by the MISEP team!

The program aims to ensure that the next generation recognises the impact of Indigenous knowledges on the past, present, and future of STEM.

Thank you MISEP and University of Melbourne for visiting our Emmaus campus!
