If the information provided is incomplete or misleading, any decision made as to enrolment may be revised.
Students with Additional Needs
It is a government requirement under the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data scheme (NCCD) that all
schools collect and submit information annually on the number of Students receiving adjustments due to
disability and the level of adjustment they receive (see personal information collection notice and our privacy
policy).
Further, under the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (Cth), schools are generally required to make
reasonable adjustments, where needed, to assist Students with disability.
An adjustment includes a measure or action taken by a school to help a Student with disability access and
participate in education on the same basis as other Students. An adjustment is reasonable if it balances the
interests of all parties affected, taking into account standards prescribed by the Disability Standards for
Education 2005 (Cth).
The School will make an appointment with parents/guardians, if any further information is required for the
purpose of assessing adjustments required for the Student.
A potential Student’s adjustment requirements will not affect the School’s decision to accept the Student’s
enrolment, unless:
a. There has been documented consideration/assessment of what special services/equipment/devices
would be required to meet the potential Student’s needs and if there are any reasonable adjustments
that can be made;
b. The School has consulted with the potential Student’s parents/guardians/carers about the potential
student’s needs and any reasonable adjustments;
c. After considering the potential Student’s needs and consultation with the parents/guardians/carers has
been determined that the School cannot meet the potential student’s needs, cannot make any
reasonable adjustments and/or it would cause unjustifiable hardship to make reasonable adjustments;
and
d. The reason why the School is not able to provide those services is documented and communicated to
the potential Student’s parents/guardians/carers.
*Has the Student been identified as having special or additional needs in one or more of the below
categories? If so, please tick the relevant categories.

PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTION NOTICE
1. ‘Personal information’ is defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) as information or an opinion, whether true
or not,
about an individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably ascertained from the information.
Personal information may include sensitive information about an individual. The Archdiocese of Hobart
both independently and through its schools, the CECT and TCEO collects personal information, including
sensitive information about Students and parents or guardians before, during and after the course of a

Yours or the Student’s personal information, as well as information on how to complain about potential
breaches of Yours or the Student’s privacy.
3. The primary purpose of collecting personal information is to enable the Archdiocese of Hobart to provide
schooling to Students and to enable them to take part in activities of their school.

the centralised digital student information management and storage platform called Compass and the
centralised digital storage system called CeD3. Compass and CeD3 are used by the school for record
keeping and information management purposes.
10. When a Student moves between schools both operated by the Archdiocese of Hobart, the schools may
exchange any and all personal information about the Student. When a Student moves from a school
operated by the Archdiocese (original school) to a school not operated by the Archdiocese of Hobart
(new school), the original school may provide personal information about the Student to the new school
with the consent of the parent(s)/guardian(s) (or the Student).

occasions, information such as academic and sporting achievements, Student’s activities and similar

payment of Fees, including information about payments made or overdue.

are situated overseas, outside Australia. However, the information will remain in the effective control of
the Archdiocese of Hobart and its schools, who will take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas hosts
comply with the Australian Privacy Principles.
15. If You provide the School with the personal information of others, such as doctors or emergency contacts,
the School encourages You to inform them that You are disclosing that information to the School and
why, that they can access that information if they wish and that the School does not usually disclose such
information to third parties.

for concessions.

charged. Further information about Visa Entitlement Verification Online checks can be found here:

identifying material in promotional material for the School or otherwise make it available to the public such
as on the Internet.
23. Parents and guardians may seek access to personal information collected about them and the Student
by contacting the School. Students may also seek access to personal information about them. However,
there will be occasions when access is denied. Such occasions would include (but are not necessarily

result in a breach of the School’s duty of care to a Student, or where Students have provided information
to the School in confidence.
24. Parents or guardians will be given written reasons if personal information held is not released upon
request.
25. If parents or guardians request access to personal information, the School will be entitled to charge
reasonable fees for access to that information, to cover time spent by staff and photocopying costs.

CONSENT TO PUBLICATION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Student may appear in school photographs, photographs where the Student is in the background of the
image or wide shots where it is not practicable to identify every Student before taking the photograph (e.g. at
sports carnivals), whether or not You give consent here. Similarly, the Student’s personal information may
appear on their school identification card. The School will never identify a Student by name in photographs
published online without express consent. If a parent/guardian has declined to give permission for a Student
to be named or identified in photographs or videos, the Student will not be identified in a photo or video.
The school cannot control the actions of Students, parents or others in relation to the publication of
photographs. However, it is contrary to the School’s ethos for photographs or film taken of Students
participating in school activities to be publicly displayed (including social media) without prior permission of
that Student’s parents or guardians or in the event a Student is 15 and over, permission from that Student.
Guidelines regarding the publication of photographs can be found on the TCEO website.
Licensed under NEALS: Please note that if You provide permission in relation to any of the options below it is
possible that the photograph/video may appear in material which will be available to schools and education
departments around Australia under the National Educational Access Licence for schools (NEALS), which is
a licence between education departments of the various states and territories, allowing schools to use licensed
material wholly and freely for educational purposes only. This licence only applies to educational material that
is publicly available. Further information regarding what material is available for use can be found on the TCEO
website.
