During term 2 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:
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.
The Education Directorate website’s Parent Portal page provides detailed instructions about how to register for Parent Portal including identification documents.
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 2 with an access code to link your existing account to your child’s records. If you have any questions, please contact info@redhillps.act.edu.au or call 6142 0960.

We are excited to say that the 2023 book week/walk-a-thon was last Friday, 25 August. It was an amazing day to see everyone in their costumes, walking around the school block.
Book week ran from the 19-25th of August. As well as a whole school assembly, hosted by the Year 6 Library Leaders, they then asked Mrs Owens to announce who won the grade awards. A student from each grade was awarded a prize.
Grandparents and parents were also allowed to come and have morning tea, it was exciting to see how so many parents/grandparents volunteered to help set up the amazing morning tea.

Book Week is 19-25 August (Week 6), and we will celebrate the week with our annual Book Week Parade, Walkathon and Grandparent Morning Tea on Friday 25 August. All families should have received correspondence from our P&C in Week 2 about the day. Please contact the Front Office if you require another copy of this note. Children are encouraged to dress up as their favourite character on Friday 25 August to participate in the Walkathon and Book Week Parade.
Please see the 11 August Newsletter for further details about book week and the events happening that week.
We are excited to announce that the book fair is ready for people to buy and read some of these amazing books. The book fair is a fair where you can ask your parents to buy you some books. These books include: ninja kid, odd ones out, hot dog, and so much more.
This amazing fair will be from Monday the 14 to Friday the 25 of August so be ready to buy the books that catch your eye and start reading.
We hope that when you get your books from the book fair you enjoy them and have a wonderful time reading some of your favourite books.

The work includes installation of a new all-weather playing field to the school oval. Rejuvenating this part of the oval will provide an improved facility for the school and the local community .

All students at Red Hill School are currently engaging in jump rope (skipping) lessons for PE. Students are discovering the effect of continuous skipping on their heart rate. They are displaying their creativity and risk-taking by trying new tricks – some students have even created new tricks themselves! They are also enjoying working with other students with partner or ‘big rope’ skipping.
Apart from the personal and peer benefits of skipping there is also a fundraising component to Jump Rope for Heart. Students can purchase skipping ropes and on Friday 16 September our school will be having a ‘Jump Off Day’. On this day students may choose to come to school uniform free make a gold coin donation. All money raised goes to the Heart Foundation. This organisation does a lot to help people – particularly young people who are born with heart problems.
