Parent Portal

Coming soon: Parent Portal

During term 1 we are rolling out a new Parent Portal, a secure online platform used to share student information between you and your child’s teachers.

Using the Parent Portal on your mobile phone, tablet or computer, you will be able to:

  • notify us if your child is sick or explain an absence
  •  book parent-teacher interviews
  • receive academic reports
  • receive our school newsletter
  •  receive messages from your child’s teachers
  • make payments
  • access the school calendar and your child’s student timetable.

One of the many benefits of the Parent Portal is that it will be used by all ACT public schools from preschool through to year 12, so there will be no need to use a different system as children change schools during their public-school journey. If you have children at nearby schools you will not need to sign up to the system twice. You will be able to easily add a student to your account once their school has access to the Parent Portal.

Sign up now

To access the portal, you will need to create or have access to an ACT Government Digital Account. You can sign up now and complete the level 2 identity verification process to get ready for our launch this term.

To complete the identity verification process you will need one of the following:

  • Driver's licence
  • Australian Passport
  • Birth certificate
  • Australian citizenship certificate
  • Change of name certificate
  • Marriage certificate
  • ImmiCard
  • Australian visa
  • Medicare
  • Centrelink Concession Card

Visit the ACT Digital Account website to create your account: https://www.myaccount.act.gov.au/

If you have any issues with creating your account and completing your level 2 identity verification you can get in contact with ACT Digital Account to resolve by calling 13 22 81.

You will receive an email in term 1 with an access code to link your existing account to your child’s records. If you have any questions, please contact Student Services at DETStudentservices@act.gov.au.
