By continuing in Catholic Education, you confirm that you accept the updated terms of the Agreement as listed below:
INTRODUCTION The Proprietor has entered into an Integration Agreement with the Minister of Education in respect of the School. The Integration Agreement provides that the Proprietor may enter into an agreement with the Parents or other persons accepting responsibility for the education of a child providing that, as a condition of the enrolment or attendance of the child at the School, the Parents or other persons shall pay Attendance Dues. Attendance Dues are used by the Proprietor to service school debt, ensure school buildings and other costs as specified in the Education and Training Act 2020.
ATTENDANCE DUES PAYMENT I/We agree to pay Attendance Dues to the Proprietor as approved by the Minister of Education from time to time in terms of the Education and Training Act 2020 and as a condition of enrolment of “the Student”, at “the School”. I/We acknowledge that the Proprietor: (a) May increase Attendance Dues from time to time provided such increases are within the maximum Attendance Dues permitted to be charged by the Ministry of Education; and (b) Is likely to review and, if necessary, increase the level of Attendance Dues payable at least annually. I/We understand that if I/we default in paying my/our Attendance Dues then any recovery costs incurred by the Proprietor will be an additional expense to be paid by me/us and will be added to the total Attendance Dues owing, payable by me/us. I/We understand that each year, the Proprietor will issue me/us an invoice for all Attendance Dues payable in respect of the Student and I/we agree to pay the total Attendance Dues payable in full by the date stipulated in the invoice unless I/we have previously made alternative payment arrangements with the Proprietor.
STUDENT ENROLMENT INFORMATION AND THE PRIVACY ACT 2020 The Personal Information voluntarily provided by you to the Proprietor on this form is collected for the purpose of sending Invoices, Statements and other financial correspondence, reporting on developments, news updates, and debt collection purposes by the Proprietor, using the School, Parish, and Diocese as their agents for updating and communication purposes. The cloud-based system used to securely hold this information is called “CathConnect”. It is a customized Microsoft product. Information is only accessible to personnel who need access to do their work and is used for the purposes listed above.
I/We consent under Schedule 24 of the Education and Training Act (2020) for "the Student" to allow their National Student Number to be used for the purpose of confirming their ongoing enrolment, via a secure school API link to the CathConnect dues management system, to maintain accurate records, and for "the School" to share this information.
I/We consent to, and request “the School” to share the following information with “CathConnect”, via daily secure data transfer of the following fields, from their Student Management System: “the Student”; first, second and last name, date of birth, year level, National Student Number, start date and end date, “the Caregiver” 1 and 2; Names, Mobile and Phone numbers and Addresses. This allows new enrolments to be invoiced, credits to be applied for leavers and outstanding debt collected.
This personal information will only be shared between the School Board and Management, Parish and Diocesan office, Debt Collection Agencies engaged by the Proprietor and the school's Proprietor or their delegate. Providing and updating this personal information is a condition of enrolment, and it will be stored securely in compliance with the Privacy Act 2020 and each entity's document retention procedures.
You can access the information we hold and request changes to your information at any time. To update your information, contact “the School” and have them update their student management system. This will then be passed to “CathConnect”. For more details, visit the website of your local Attendance Dues team. Information about outstanding Attendance Dues may be shared by the Diocese with the Proprietors and personnel of other Catholic Schools that you have contractual link with, and with their attendance dues collection agent.
