As a non-government PRC Coordinator you will need to manage the student accounts of the students at your school. 


You will manage:

  • Creating accounts for NEW students 
  • Recording accounts of EXISTING students
  • Notifying the PRC team of students who have participated in the PRC at a different school to MERGE account history



STEP 1: Perform a bulk upload for any student new to your school. 


Follow this how-to guide:

Step 2. EXISTING student accounts


Non-Gov DoE Student passwords do not change unless reset by either the coordinator or the PRC team. 


Please note all non-gov passwords were reset in February 2025 to enable the rollout of the password tool for non-gov coordinators. 


Secure, password protected files can now be downloaded from the PRC website.

All existing student passwords prior to February 2025: Can be downloaded by any coordinator with an active account at your school 

All new student uploads from February 2025 onwards: Can only be downloaded by the coordinator who performed the upload. 


NOTE: All password files have a 2 week expiry date, and can be downloaded a maximum of 10 times. 


If you need to access a password file that is no longer downloadable, please contact the PRC team and specify which files you need access to. 

Follow this how-to guide to access your student passwords:

Step 3. MERGING NEW student accounts with OLD student accounts from previous schools


When students attend a new school, their PRC accounts are managed differently by the website depending on whether the schools are public or non-government. The table below sets out how student accounts are managed:


If the student accounts need to be merged, please CREATE a student account first and then contact the PRC team and provide the student's details in an EXCEL spreadsheet:

  • name
  • date of birth
  • current school
  • any previous schools attended.

 

In some cases students may attend a new school but a new account is not created for them in the PRC website. This might be because the:

  • new school does not participate in the Challenge
  • new school is not in NSW
  • student is in Year 11


In such cases students’ PRC accounts at the old school will remain visible to coordinators in the PRC website. Please ignore these accounts.


Once a student's account has been merged, their past Student Reading Records will be visible in their Student Reading Record page on the PRC website.
