PRIMARY SCHOOL PRIVACY NOTICE
Information about the Enrolment Form - Please read this Notice before completing the Enrolment Form
This confidential enrolment form asks for personal information about your child as well as family members and others that
provide care for your child. The main purpose for collecting this information is so that Donburn P.S. can register your
child and allocate staff and resources to provide for their educational and support needs. All staff at Donburn P.S. and
the Department of Education & Training are required by law to protect the information provided by this enrolment form.
Health information is asked for so that staff at Donburn P.S. can properly care for your child. This includes information
about any medical condition or disability your child may have, medication your child may rely on while at school, any known
allergies and contact details of your child’s doctor. Donburn P.S. depends on you to provide all relevant health information
because withholding some health information may put your child’s health at risk.
Donburn P.S. requires information about all parents, guardians or carers so that we can take account of family arrangements.
Family Court Orders setting out any access restrictions and parenting plans should be made available to Donburn P.S. Please

agencies for monitoring, planning and resource allocation. All of this information is kept strictly confidential and the
Department will not otherwise disclose the information to others without your consent or as required by law.
