Privacy policy

Your name, email address, subject and message. We use them to answer your message.

Your email address. We use it only to send you the school newsletter. To stop receiving it, email info@wgs.nsw.edu.au.

The student’s name and class, your name and email address, the leave dates, the reason for the leave, and the completed leave form you upload. We use them to consider the leave request, to tell you the outcome, and to keep the student’s attendance records.

The child’s name, date of birth, gender, country of birth, residency status (and visa subclass, if any), main language at home and current school; the year and start year you are applying for; the names, relationship, phone numbers and email addresses of the parents or guardians; your address; brothers or sisters at the school; whether you are interested in school transport; how you heard about us; and any message you add.

We use this information to place the child on the school’s waiting list, to order the list (children with a brother or sister at the school first, then by the date we received the expression of interest), and to contact you about places, entrance exams, interviews and offers. We do not use it for marketing.

The expression of interest does not ask for medical, disability or similar sensitive information. If a place is offered, the school asks for the full enrolment application on paper, and the school’s own privacy policy covers that information.

When you send a form, we store a one-way coded version (a keyed hash) of your internet (IP) address, not the address itself. We use it only to limit how many forms one connection can send in an hour, which keeps out spam.

The public pages of this website do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Staff who sign in to the staff area use a sign-in cookie.

We do not use website analytics at present. If we turn analytics on, we will use it only to count visits and pages viewed, and we will name the service on this page.
