Welcome back to Term 3 to all our Campbell Primary School families. This term is a busy one with many events happening across the school over the coming weeks. Please refer to the school’s calendar to see up and coming events.
Thank you to all our families who completed the Holiday Reading Challenge. This is an important Campbell Primary School initiative which encourages all our students to read and be read to during the holiday break. We reward our students as an extra incentive to read but of course hope that all families continue to read at home every day. Thank you to Big W at Livingston who sponsor our book prizes each term. Earlier this year we surveyed the students across the school and they voted for a pyjamas and movie day as their reward for our Winter Holiday Reading Challenge. More information about this will be out soon.
This infographic shows you the impact of reading for simply 20 minutes each day.
The WA Department of Education offers some great reading at home tip sheets and information at this link: https://www.education.wa.edu.au/search?q=reading#_ws_search.

In the lead up to Census this Friday 30 July 2021, our school has been preparing for the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability. As a parent we require no action from you. This information is for your reference only. Please follow the link below if you would like to find out further information about the NCCD.
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. These relate to legislative requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005, in line with the NCCD guidelines (2019). The NCCD provides state and federal governments with the information they need to plan more broadly for the support of students with disability.
The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child will not be involved in any testing process. The school will provide data to the Australian Government in such a way that no individual student will be able to be identified – the privacy and confidentiality of all students is ensured. All information is protected by privacy laws that regulate the collection, storage and disclosure of personal information. To find out more about these matters, please refer to the Australian Government’s Privacy Policy (https://www.education.gov.au/privacy-policy) .Further information about the NCCD can be found on the NCCD Portal (https://www.nccd.edu.au).
