Farrer Primary School
Welcome to Farrer Primary School
Farrer Primary School is a thriving learning community in which teachers and families work in partnership to provide opportunities that foster creativity, deep thinking and skill development. We encourage students to be active learners who ask questions about the world around them and have the tools to find answers to these questions. We aim to equip students with 21st century skills through a curriculum focused on the explicit teaching of literacy and numeracy skills alongside real world learning units based on the Australian Curriculum, local priorities and student interests.
Our Farrer values of support, excellence, inclusion, innovation and sustainability are important in the development of responsible citizens.
We value and promote student voice through Student Parliament, circle time and individual goals set in writing and maths. Parent and family partnerships are highly valued by our education team. We value parent input, feedback and involvement in learning, extracurricular and community events.
Farrer Primary School is a caring, happy school in which students are encouraged to be themselves and strive for continuous improvement.
If you are a Facebook user, we invite you to visit and 'like' our school's Facebook page. This is where we promote some of the great learning that takes place at our school and the connections we have with our community. Please go to https://www.facebook.com/farrerprimary

Coming soon: Parent Portal

Coming soon: Parent Portal
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:
· 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.
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 the Front Office at info@farrerps.act.edu.au or on 02 6142 0860
