FOR GOV COORDINATORS
To get started as a Public School PRC Coordinator
Principals nominate their school's coordinators using the Manage Staff Access (MSA) accessible through the Staff Portal. Relieving principals may need to contact EdConnect for access to MSA.
Please contact your principal to tick approve you on the MSA application as a PRC Coordinator.
Coordinators will then be able to log in to the PRC website using their DoE username and password.
FOR NONGOV COORDINATOR
To get started as a Non-government School PRC Coordinator
Your school principal (or their delegate) is responsible for managing the DoE accounts at your school using the Staff Management Utility (SMU) and Manage Staff Access (MSA) applications available in the DoE Extranet.
The responsibilities include: creating new accounts, re-activating existing accounts, provisioning PRC coordinators and resetting passwords.
Please contact your principal to create a DoE account for you on the SMU system. Once they have set you up on SMU, they will then need to tick approve you on the MSA application as a PRC Coordinator.
If your principal does not have a DoE account so that they are able to set you up, please have them directly contact us at this email so that we can set up an account for them. After this, they will then be able to take on their duties with managing the DoE accounts at your school.
Your principal can refer to the Principal (or delegate) tasks for non-government schools guide.
____________________________________________________________________
Please note: Principal approval is required to become the PRC coordinator at a school. It is recommended that schools have at least two coordinators.
We recommend having at least two current coordinators at your school in case of unexpected leave occurring during key times of the Challenge.
