 Use of General Email Addresses

In this time of staffing changes and staff leave, it is important to remember when emailing the College, to use one of our general contact email addresses. This is to ensure your query will be dealt with efficiently by the correct team. 

Our contacts are:

 

denmark.wacoa@education.wa.edu.au 

for all general queries, enrolment applications, complaints and feedback.

 

denmark.wacoa.adminstaff@education.wa.edu.au 

for all queries relating to students including attendance, excursions, appointments, and any other front office query.

 

denmark.wacoa.finance@education.wa.edu.au 

for all queries relating to student billing, subsidies, allowances, payment plans, accounts payable and accounts receivable.

 

Account Related Communication from the College

Statements summarising all items charged and payments received will be emailed twice per term. 

 

Many extra cost options are required to be paid prior to a student participating in an activity and you will receive an excursion form advising of this. 

 

Accounts do go through quality checks, however, if you do happen to notice something not quite right, please contact us.
