2. Click the Add Student button.
3. Fill in the required fields:
   • First Name and Last Name

4. Click Save to create the student record.

The student will now appear in the student list and on the dashboard for relevant teachers.

For adding multiple students at once:

1. Navigate to Administration > Students.
2. Click Import Students.
3. Download the CSV template if you do not already have one.
4. Fill in the template with your student data.

3. Click on the student's name to open their profile.
4. Update the relevant fields (name, year level, enrolment status, etc.).
5. Click Save to apply the changes.

Updating Enrolment Information

If a student's enrolment status changes (e.g., they leave the school or transfer):

1. Open the student's profile.
2. Update the Enrolment Status field.
3. Students marked as no longer enrolled will be excluded from active reporting but their historical evidence is retained.

Disability Categories

Each student can be assigned one or more NCCD disability categories:

• Physical
• Cognitive
• Sensory
• Social/Emotional

To assign or update a disability category:

1. Open the student's profile.
2. Navigate to the NCCD Details section.
3. Select the applicable disability category or categories.
4. Click Save.

Adjustment Levels

Junipa supports the four NCCD levels of adjustment:

• QDTP -- Quality Differentiated Teaching Practice (support provided within the classroom as part of regular teaching)
• Supplementary -- Additional support beyond standard classroom practice
• Substantial -- Significant and ongoing adjustments
• Extensive -- Comprehensive, individualised support

Assigning an Adjustment Level

1. Open the student's profile.
2. Navigate to the Adjustment Level section.
3. Select the appropriate level from the dropdown.
4. Click Save.

Changing a Student's Adjustment Level

If a student's needs change and a different adjustment level is more appropriate:

1. Open the student's profile.
2. Navigate to the Adjustment Level section.
3. Select the new level from the dropdown.
4. Add a note explaining the reason for the change (recommended for audit trail purposes).
5. Click Save.

The previous adjustment level is retained in the student's history for reporting purposes.

Timetable Setup

The timetable determines how students appear on the teacher dashboard:

1. Navigate to Administration > Timetable.
2. Import your school's timetable or configure it manually.
3. Assign students to classes and periods.
4. Teachers will see their assigned students on the dashboard based on the current timetable period.

Excluding Evidence from Reporting

In some cases, you may need to exclude specific evidence entries from NCCD reports (e.g., if evidence was recorded in error):

1. Navigate to the student's evidence log.
2. Locate the evidence entry you wish to exclude.
3. Click the Exclude option on the entry.
4. The entry will be marked as excluded and will not appear in NCCD reports.

note

Excluded evidence is not deleted. It remains in the system and can be re-included if needed. This approach maintains a complete audit trail.
