schools trialling the portal.

as well.

What QParents looks like at FGSHS

• Go to https://qparents.qld.eq.edu to register
• Follow the ‘Registration Process for Parents’

directions which have been sent home with your student.

• Initial registration should be done on a PC, not

through the app – a smart phone app can then be downloaded for iPhone .

How to register

This page will show you how to register

Registration/Login Page

• Your invitation code which the system will

email to you once a year level is rolled out

• Your student’s EQID No. This can be found on:

–your student’s report card –your student’s timetable in the study planner –any invoice/statement sent by the school –or you can contact the school

• Identification documents

What will I need to register

Verify your identity

• You will need 100 points of identification from

the following: (for security)

– Driver’s Licence 50 points – Australian Passport 50 points – Australian Birth Certificate 50 points – Australian Marriage Certificate 40 points – Australian Citizenship Certificate 40 points – Medicare Card 20 points – Australian Visa 20 points

Verify Your Identity Screen

What if I don’t have 100 points of ID?

• You can still register with 60 points or more.
• You will then need to bring in two documents

to the school to confirm your name and current address, such as a

– utilities bill – bank statement. The school will contact you with details of other acceptable documents once you register.

Note re your ID Documents

• Please make sure that the name on the

document is entered EXACTLY the same as the name entered.

• Your name will come up by default as entered

in OUR database. (when u select template)

• Make sure you over-ride this when entering

your ID document name if required.

All requests need to be approved

• Please note that all registrations need to be

approved by the school.

• Also all requests for changes to data need to

be approved

• You will receive a confirmation email

QParents Account Owner (QPAO)

• The invitation automatically emails to the

parent with the lowest ID No. in our student database

• The QPAO (QParents Account Owner) can be

changed to another parent – contact the school and another invitation will be sent. (Where no email is recorded in our database, a hard copy of the invitation will be mailed out)

• If students have been linked as siblings at

primary school you will be able to add them under one account.

– If you are already registered with QParents at another school, you will not need to re-register – just click “Accept” when you receive your invitation – If students are not linked, you will need to have two Account Numbers.

What if I have students at more than one school

• A QParents Account Holder can nominate one
• r more “Delegated Viewers”, such as another

parent or grandparent, to have access to the student’s account.

• The Delegated Viewer role is a read-only role

and no data can be changed.

• Delegated viewers must have different email

addresses to the Account Holder.

Delegated Viewers

When can I access Qparents?

• Year 7 has recently been rolled out and all

Year 7 parents should have received invitations.

• Years 8 to 11 will receive invitations soon.
• As we roll out each year level, parents will be

emailed an invitation with an individual QParents login code to register.
