The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) is conducting Introduction to Student Information Records Systems (SIRS) information/training sessions in January 2026. The sessions 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 in to SIRS
• administering SIRS – including managing SIRS user accounts and provider member information
• uploading 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 responsible for maintaining the changes on the school database and the Deputy or Associate Principal.

There will be two sessions conducted in‑person at the Authority offices and two online. These are repeated sessions; participants only need to attend one. It is recommended that those attending the in‑person training, who have a SIRS login account, bring their own device to login to their school’s SIRS account during the sessions.
