Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD)

All Australian schools are required to participate annually in the NCCD. The NCCD draws on teachers'

professional judgement and practices throughout the year supporting students with disability to access

and participate in education on the same basis as other students. Under the NCCD model, teachers and

school staff use their professional, informed judgement, based on evidence, to determine the level of

adjustment students with disability receive, in both the classroom and whole of school context, as well as

the broad category of disability that relates to the adjustments. Please see the detailed information about

the NCCD later in the lines.

Anaphylaxis at Lindfield Public School At Lindfield Public School in 2018, we have a small number of children with a potentially life threatening

allergic reaction. They are found across our school from Kindergarten to Year 6.

How can parents help these children?

If possible, choose alternative sandwich spreads to peanut butter and Nutella. If

you have no alternative, inform your child that these foods can trigger an

anaphylactic reaction.

Reinforce the school’s NO FOOD SHARING message.

Please note, no students are allowed to bring glass bottles to

school for safety reasons.

Music Camp

The 2018 Music Camp was a great success. Thanks to

the tireless organisation and planning by our Music Camp

Coordinator Rhyan and all his helpers from the Band,

Canteen and Strings committees everything went

smoothly at camp and the students truly enjoyed

themselves. The Strings committee sent 103 children to

camp this year with almost half of them staying overnight

for at least one night.

We would like to thank all the parent volunteers who

helped at camp – starting from the set up on Sunday and

the breakfast at LPS on Monday morning all the way to

the set up and clean up at the end of camp concert on

Tuesday. All of our parents were amazing!

On behalf of the parents and children we would also like

to thank the wonderful teachers who helped at camp and

on Monday morning at LPS. Thank you for being there for

us, staying overnight and keeping an eye on our children.

Open rehearsals for Mozart

The Mozart ensemble would like to kindly invite all Mozart families to join them for an open rehearsal on Monday 2 July at 3:15pm in the Hall. The children and conductors have worked very hard at Music Camp and would love to perform their music for their families.

Music Camp 2018 - A Great Success!

The campfire has burnt out; the disco lights have dimmed; the lolly bags are empty; lost property is finding its way home; and the sunshine has returned. Another successful Music Camp is over with smiles all around. It was a pity the weather defeated us on Tuesday when we had the new major activities planned but we will try to reschedule them into the program again in 2019.

We tried a few new things this year to enhance the children's enjoyment and got most of them right. We can always improve further and are open to any feedback people may have to ensure it steps up again next time.

Just a quick closing message to once again thank all of the volunteers and teachers and committee members who made this year's camp so enjoyable. A lot of hard work goes into these productions and we will shortly commence our planning for next year.
