Pine Rivers Special School is proud to offer QParents.
The QParents web and mobile application provides a more convenient, easier way for parents and legal guardians of Queensland State Schools to interact with their student's school. Parents will have secure, online access to their student's information, anytime, anywhere, through a smartphone, tablet or computer. QParents allows parents to connect instantly with their student's school to access and manage their student's student information including:
- Attendance and absence details, as well as the ability to notify the school of an absence.
- Viewing unpaid invoice details, payment history, and making payments online.
- Consent management.
QParents will assist both staff and parents in sharing and responding to information in an efficient and effective way.
"It will not replace the traditional ways you communicate with us, but will provide another way to communicate with us."
The benefits of QParents
Convenience and time saving for parents.
- Parents can view or update their student's details without having to contact the school.
- Secure 24/7 online access.
- Available anytime, anywhere - access QParents on your smart phone, tablet or computer.
What is a QParents Account Owner (QPAO)?
The school will nominate one parent or legal guardian for each student to be the QParents Account Owner (QPAO). The QPAO will be able to register for QParents to access and manage the student's information online. A student's QPAO will be able to view the student's information and submit requests to update some of the student's details.
The QPAO will also be able to invite other people (such as another parent or family member), to view the student's information. Once invited, these people can register for QParents as “delegated viewers". A delegated viewer can see the student's details, but cannot make updates.
How do I get access?
To start using QParents, download the app on your preferred device or visit the QParents website External link and follow the instructions.
How do I register?
You will receive an invitation email from us containing your unique invitation code. Simply follow the instructions in that email to complete the QParents account registration process.
If you want another parent to be the QPAO, you can advise us via email admin@pineriversspecialschool.eq.edu.au and we will send them an invitation email or letter with their own unique invitation code.
Identity verification
When registering as a QPAO, you will need to verify 100 points of identity documents online. The 100 points can be made up of documents in the following list:
Australian Passport
| 60 pts | Australian Marriage Certificate | 40 pts
|
Australian Driver Licence | 60 pts | Australian Citizenship Certificate | 40 pts |
Australian Birth Certificate | 50 pts | Change of Name Certificate | 40 pts |
Medicare Card | 20 pts | Australian Visa (foreign passports) | 20 pts |
If you only have 60-90 points of the above ID documents you can still register for QParents, but we may call you into the school to provide us with some extra documentation like a rates bill, energy bill or other documents that may contain your name and address.
If you don't want to register for QParents, your account will not be created and your child's information will not be made available through QParents.
