What is the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data? Schools must now complete the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) every year. It counts the number of students who receive additional adjustments or “help” at school because of a disability. The NCCD helps governments plan for the needs of students with disability.

Please click on this link to view further 2026 information from the NCCD website or here for VCEA information.

On the 26 October, 2024, 11 new councillors will be elected onto the City of Greater Geelong Council. These people will be responsible for representing their communities and shaping what Greater Geelong looks like for the next four years and beyond.

It is important our councillors know what the community wants and needs, and this includes hearing from the children who call Greater Geelong home.

We want to know where your favourite places and spaces to visit in Greater Geelong are. This information will be provided to Council and will help them develop the four-year Council Plan 2025-2029.

Please share the link below with families that you are connected with so that the children have the opportunity to tell us which places and spaces they like
to visit.

Council Plan Kids Hub! | Council Plan 2025-29 | Have Your Say (geelongaustralia.com.au)

Thank you for your help in assisting to get children’s voices heard.

Warm Regards, Nikki
