Aurora ELC Exceeding National Quality Standard

It is with great pleasure and pride that we announce that we have received our final assessment and rating from the Department of Education & Training. 

We have been awarded Exceeding National Quality Standard. There are over 15,417 centres in Australia, but only 3,601 have been rated exceeding, 1,004 of those are in NSW. With only 23% of all centres meet the exceeding standard, we are proud to be part of this small group of excellence.

Through a full day detail inspection by NSW Dept of Education in August 2017, we were assessed against the 7 quality areas of the National Quality Standard (NQS) and given an overall rating based on these results.

The 7 quality areas covered by the National Quality Standard are:

1. Educational program and practice
2. Children’s health and safety
3. Physical environment
4. Staffing arrangements
5. Relationships with children
6. Collaborative partnerships with families and communities
7. Leadership and service management

The ratings are:

• Excellent rating, awarded by ACECQA
• Exceeding National Quality Standard
• Meeting National Quality Standard
• Working Towards National Quality Standard
• Significant Improvement Required

Our next challenge is to be awarded the Excellence in Education and Care which only 10 centres in NSW have been awarded.

​Huge thanks goes to our truly amazing team of Educators. Your commitment, hard work and dedication to the early childhood sector and the children in your care has shone through and rewarded accordingly. 

We extend a big thank you to our supportive families. It has been a real pleasure working with and looking after your little ones. We endeavour to continue to better ourselves in order to maintain and reach new heights. 

Well done team Aurora!
