The School Curriculum and Standards Authority will be conducting Introduction to Student Information Records Systems (SIRS) information/training sessions which are aimed at new and existing SIRS users in schools.

The sessions will cover the basic operations and functions of SIRS, including SIRS administration, managing SIRS user accounts and provider member information.

Focus topics include:

  • logging into SIRS
  • administering SIRS – including managing SIRS user accounts and provider member information
  • uploading of various files – including checking and verifying data transfers
  • understanding common errors
  • generating and finding commonly used reports
  • accessing assistance with local databases
  • requesting assistance from the Programs and Data team.

Ideally, two staff members should attend: the clerical staff member who will be responsible for maintaining the changes on the school database and the deputy or associate principal.

There will be four sessions conducted onsite and four online. These are repeated sessions; participants only need to attend once). It is recommended that those attending the onsite, who have a SIRS login account, bring their own device to log in to their school’s SIRS account during the session.
