Privacy Statement

Your privacy is important

The School collects personal information, including sensitive information, about students and parents or guardians before and during the course of a pupil’s enrolment at the School. This may be in writing or in the course of conversations. The primary purpose of collecting this information is to enable the School to provide an education to the student and to enable them to take part in all the activities available at MGGS.
Some of the information we collect is to satisfy the School’s legal obligations, particularly to enable MGGS to discharge its duty of care.
Laws governing or relating to the operation of a school require certain information to be collected and disclosed. These include relevant Education Acts, and Public Health [and Child Protection] laws.
Health information about students is sensitive information within the terms of the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1998. We may ask you to provide medical reports about students from time to time.
The School from time to time discloses personal and sensitive information to others for administrative and educational purposes, including to facilitate the transfer of a student to another school. This includes to government departments, medical practitioners, and people providing services to the School, including specialist visiting teachers, [sports] coaches, volunteers and counsellors.
Personal information collected from students may be disclosed to their parents or guardians. In the context of Student Counselling Services please see the MGGS Student Counselling Guidelines.
The School’s Privacy Policy sets out how parents or students may seek access to personal information collected about them. However, there will be occasions when access is denied. Such occasions would include where access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others, where access may result in a breach of the School’s duty of care to the student, or where students have provided information in confidence.
The School Privacy Policy also sets out how you may complain about a breach of privacy and how the School will deal with such a complaint.
As you may be aware the School from time to time engages in fundraising activities. Information received from you may be used to make an appeal to you. [It may also be disclosed to organisations that assist in the School’s fundraising activities solely for that purpose.] We will not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.
On occasions information such as academic and sporting achievements, student activities and similar news is published in School newsletters and magazines [and on our website]. Photographs of students’ activities such as sporting events, school camps and school excursions may be taken for publication in School newsletters and magazines [and on our website]. The School will obtain separate permissions from the students’ parent or guardian prior to publication.
We may include students’ and students’ parents’ contact details in a class list and School Directory.
Melbourne Girls Grammar may consider cloud services for new ICT procurements, which may mean that personal information resides on servers potentially situated outside Australia. The School will choose cloud services where the cloud service provider satisfies and safeguards the School’s obligations in relation to risk management, data security, privacy and the storage and processing of data offshore.
If you provide the School with the personal information of others, such as doctors or emergency contacts, we encourage 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 this information to third parties.
