It’s the last term of the year – let’s make it count!

There are so many reasons to go to school. Every day is chance to be around friends, learn new things, grow and have fun.

Here are some tips to make every day count:

Create a routine.
Allow enough time in the morning.
Be on time, every day.
Plan appointments and trips outside school hours.
Get a good night’s sleep.
Set some technology boundaries.

If you’re having trouble getting your child to school, please talk to us.

Have Your Say on Foundational Supports

All levels of government are working together on disability reform, including designing and delivering additional supports.

The Department of Social Services is seeking community feedback on General Foundational Supports. These are specific supports that will be available outside the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to help people with disability, their families and carers.

You can participate by:

Completing the General Supports questionnaire on the Consultation Paper, open until 30 November.
Contributing to the Foundational Supports Ideas Wall , open until 30 November.
Attending an online event.

Who they want to hear from:

people with disability, whether they are on the NDIS or not.
people who might need extra support but don’t identify as having a disability.
families, carers, kin and advocates for people with disability
stakeholders across disability, including health, mental health, early childhood, schools and other areas.

Child and Youth Safe Standards

The Office of Safeguarding Children and Young People will be sharing regular updates with schools and CFLCs about the work we are all doing to keep all children and young people safe.

The link below outlines, why they are important and how we as a department are delivering them in practice.
