Academic Challenge and Extension Program

As part of Erina High School's focus on challenging all students to achieve their personal best we have develped our ACE (Academic Challenge and Extension Program). This program will provide students and parents with any tournaments, competitions and programs that are sent to the school in which students may wish to participate. They range across all the subject areas and are open to all students. Where possible your classroom teachers will help you but in most cases these competitions are undertaken by students outside of the normal school curriculum.

If you have any queries please contact Gordon Schoffl (Head Teacher TAL) via the school switch on (02) 4367 7353.

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD)

The national data collection reflects and supports the ongoing work of schools. 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.

The model for the NCCD is based on mandatory obligations to students under the national Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and Disability Standards for Education 2005.
