Information Technology Update – February 21, 2019

Privacy Collection

This week parents and guardians received two documents from the Australian Government Department of Education and Training. The first was the -‘2019 Student Residential Address and Other Information collection notice’ which can be accessed by clicking on this link– and the second -‘Frequently Asked Questions-“ 2019 Student Residential Address and Other Information Collection’- which can be accessed via clicking on this link

These two documents contain information about data we provide to the government each year related to the calculation of the Commonwealth’s needs-based funding arrangements for non-government schools. Any questions related to this collection should be directed to:

• seshelpdesk@education.gov.au
• Phone (free call): SES helpdesk on 1800 677 027 (Option 4)

While there is nothing that needs to be actioned regarding this data collection, we do need to ensure that the information we provide the government is as accurate as possible. If you have recently changed your address or other details and have not informed the College, please do so by calling the general enquiries line on +61 3 5331 1688.

The College recognises the right to privacy of all those in our community, for more information see our website. https://www.stpats.vic.edu.au/en/footer/privacy/
