Access and correction of personal information
The College will take reasonable steps to make sure that personal information is accurate, complete and up to date. It is important to the College that personal information is up to date. If you find that the information the College holds is not up to date, you can advise the College as soon as practicable so records can be updated to ensure quality service is provided by the College.
Under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Health Services Act 2016, an individual has the right to seek access to, and / or correction of, any personal information which the College holds about them, subject to certain exceptions set out in the legislation. Students will generally be able to access and update their personal information through their parents, but older students may seek access and correction themselves.
To make a request to access, update or correct any personal information the College holds about an individual (parent, staff member) or their child (student), please contact the Principal by email, post, or telephone at:

The College requires the individual to verify their identity and specify what information they require. The College may charge an administration fee for giving access to personal information (but will not charge for making the request or correcting the personal information). If the information sought is extensive, the College will advise you of the likely cost in advance.
If the College refuses your request, a written notice will be provided explaining the reasons for refusal (unless, considering the grounds for refusal, it would be unreasonable to provide reasons) and how to lodge a complaint.
