Scotch College collects personal information, including sensitive information, about its students and their parents or guardians before and during the course of a student's enrolment at the School. The primary purpose of collecting this information is to enable the School to assess an application for enrolment and, if enrolment is offered and accepted, to provide schooling for the student.
We will collect personal information about a student or his parent/s or guardian/s where the information is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities of providing education to the student. The kinds of personal information that we collect and hold depends on the circumstances. Examples of information that we collect in relation to our students and their parent or guardians include:
name and address

date of birth of the student
identity documents
health information of the student
medical reports of the student

The main consequences for the student and the parents or guardians if all or some of the personal information is not collected by Scotch College is that:
we may not be able to evaluate an application for enrolment or offer enrolment or continue the enrolment of a student
we may not be able to properly administer our relationship with the student and his parents or guardian or comply with our legal and contractual obligations as a school providing education in Victoria.

this information can (and has been) provided to us by a third party with the consent of the parents or guardians; or
it is unreasonable or impracticable for us to do so.
