Dear Right to Access, Legal Services,

Thank you for sending through these forms. From reading these forms, it seems this relates to information relating to a specific student or third party. The information I am seeking is at the school/organisation level. Is there a more relevant form for this type of request?

I should also point out that while some of this data is available via the NSW Education Data Hub, it exists only at the state or regional level. I am interested in the data at the school level specifically for Thirroul Public School.

Yours sincerely,

Edward Shepherd
