AEDI

Our Prep staff are soon to undertake the Australian Early Developmental Index. The AEDI looks at how young children are developing in the years before they begin school. As part of the AEDI, schools around Australia will be collecting information on children in their first year of school.

This will involve teachers completing an online ‘checklist’ – like a survey or questionnaire – for every child in their class.

Summary results of the AEDI checklists will be available for communities based on whole groups of children in a way that means no one will be able to identify individual children. The findings will provide communities with a snapshot of young children’s development. This will help communities understand how their children are developing and where improvements can be made to give children the best start in life.

Parents will receive more information about our school’s involvement in the AEDI in the coming weeks. You can find out more about the AEDI at www.aedi.org.au
