We Value Your Privacy
- The School collects personal information, including sensitive information about students and parents or guardians before and during the course of a student's enrolment at the School.

- Some of the information we collect is to satisfy the School's legal obligations, particularly to enable the School to discharge its duty of care.
- Health information about students is sensitive information within the terms of the National Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act. We ask you to provide medical reports about students from time to time.
- The School from time to time discloses personal and sensitive information to others for administrative and educational purposes. This includes
to other schools, government departments, medical practitioners, and people providing services to the School, including specialist visiting teachers, sports coaches and volunteers. - If we do not obtain the information referred to above we may not be able to enrol or continue the enrolment of your son/daughter.
- Personal information collected from students is regularly disclosed to their parents or guardians. On
occasions information such as academic and sporting achievements, student activities and other news is published in School newsletters, magazines, on our website and through the media. If you do not agree to this you must advise us in writing addressed to the Headmaster. - Parents may seek access to personal information collected about themselves and their son/daughter by contacting the School. Students may also seek access to personal information about them. All requests must be made in writing addressed to the Headmaster. However, there will be occasions when access is denied. Such occasions would include where access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others, where access may result in a breach of the School's duty of care to the pupil, or where students have provided information in confidence.
- As you may know the School from time to time engages in fundraising activities. Information received from you may be used to make an appeal to you. It may also be disclosed to organisations that assist in the School's fundraising activities solely for that purpose. We will not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.
- We may include your contact details in a class list and School directory. If you do not agree to this you must advise us in writing addressed to the Headmaster.
- If you provide the School with the personal information of others, such as doctors or emergency contacts, we encourage you to inform them that you are disclosing that information to the School and why. They can access that information if they wish.
