Lunchtime clubs and activities

For Term 2, we have a range of new clubs and activities now available to engage and support our learners, and believe there is something on offer for everyone. Please see the overview below for details on what’s on offer. We encourage you to explore these options with your child and help them find something they’re excited to try. If your child is unsure about joining a club, we suggest they attend at least once to see if it’s a good fit.

Clubs in the spotlight

Handball Clubs - Year 3, 1st break Mon | Year 4, 1st break Tue | Year 5 & 6, 1st break Wed 

Each week, Miss Annabelle (Years 3 and 4) and Mrs. Guenzler (Year 6) run a handball club where they review key rules and offer coaching and support to help resolve common game issues and keep everything running smoothly. Miss Annabelle even brings some music to her liven up sessions!

Minecraft Club -  Year 3-6 | Monday, 1st break in 4J Classroom

Learners love coming together to create and explore virtual worlds. Minecraft provides a fantastic platform where they can use their imagination collaboratively while developing teamwork and communication skills. There's a lot that goes into building a world!

Supporting Diverse Learners at Jamboree Heights – NCCD Collection

Our school support model is based on the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). Students who face specific challenges or disabilities, and who require additional support, may be included in the NCCD. 

The NCCD recognises that learners require different levels of adjustment and categorises support into four tiers:

• Quality Differentiated Teaching Practice (provided occasionally)

• Supplementary (provided often)

• Substantial (provided most of the time)

• Extensive (provided at all times)

At the school level, any learner included in the NCCD will have a Personal Learning Record that outlines their specific areas of need and the key adjustments in place. One of the strengths of the NCCD is its inclusive approach to all types of disabilities, with a focus on the strategies we use to help learners access the classroom curriculum and school activities.

If your child is currently included in the NCCD or is being considered for inclusion, you will be contacted individually in the coming months to discuss this. For more information on the legislative requirements and what data is shared with the Australian Government, please refer to the NCCD Fact Sheet.

It’s important to note that a student does not need to be included in the NCCD to receive additional support. In our classrooms, we recognise a wide range of learning needs and strive to support all learners every day through high-quality teaching practices. Many students who receive support do not have a diagnosed disability. This includes students who need enrichment or extension, those learning English as a second language, and those with mild learning difficulties or behavioural challenges.
