The NCCD is an ongoing process that extends well beyond Census Day. It involves evidence, collaboration, governance and informed decision-making throughout the school year.
The NCCD Symposium is a free professional learning event hosted by Education360, bringing together educators, school leaders, NCCD Coordinators and support staff to explore the issues, insights and challenges that shape NCCD practice in schools.
Each symposium features expert speakers and practical discussions focused on the real-world experiences of schools. From strengthening evidence and understanding NCCD data to exploring governance, assurance and what happens beyond Census Day, each session is designed to provide practical insights that can be applied throughout the year.
The Symposium is an opportunity to learn from experienced voices, hear different perspectives and connect the broader NCCD process to what happens in your school every day.
“Our NCCD Symposiums are more than webinars. They’re an opportunity to learn from experts, share experiences and build confidence in your school’s NCCD processes throughout the year.”
