A Message from our Head of Inclusion
As we find ourselves in the middle of Term 2 already , how time fly's. NCCD is creeping up upon us, you will find a letter either emailed, text on our Facebook page explaining the process of this data collection and what our school obligations are.
We would like to thank all those parents that attended Parent Teacher interviews and those that also made time to take our phone calls, working Collaboratory with our families are key to our students success.

We will be holding an afternoon tea information session for parents and students on the 1st June, an invitation will be sent home closer to the date. We are excited that our shirts are in production and will arrive at the end of July.

What is an Early Childhood Development Program?
Early Childhood Development Programs (ECDPs) provide early intervention to children who require intensive, multidisciplinary programs to develop skills and behaviours to maximise their participation in schooling.
ECDPs play a different but complementary role to National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) supports, and to kindergartens.
ECDPs are for eligible children with significant disability or suspected disability in the categories of autism spectrum disorder, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, physical impairment, speech language impairment or vision impairment.
For general information about ECDPs, including a list of locations and information about how to access them, visit:
