Welcome to Caroline Chisholm School
Our school website provides a comprehensive guide to our diverse programs ranging from Ignite and Challenge classes for high achieving students to our Special Education Services, all underpinned by research based, high quality teaching practices.
Caroline Chisholm School located in south east Tuggeranong provides the opportunity to enjoy the continuity of 12 years of education from Preschool to Year 10.
Caroline Chisholm School comprises two co-located sites. The Junior Campus caters for Preschool to Year 5 students and the Senior Campus is designed to provide a Middle School for Years 6-8 and a Senior School for Years 9 and 10. We are well resourced with hall/gym, library, canteen and playing fields for each campus. The Senior Campus also has high quality facilities to provide VET pathways for students in Hospitality, Furniture and Horticulture.
The overall development and wellbeing of all students is very important to me and my dedicated staff. We work together to ensure our students have a strong sense of belonging to the school community and an appreciation and realisation of their capabilities and potential. High expectations are articulated through our rigorous curriculum and co-curricular program allowing students to explore and develop their strengths and talents.
Our school values underpin our expectations and it is through these that we aim to develop students with a strong sense of purpose, integrity and responsibility to others and self. By accessing all the school offers, students leave Caroline Chisholm School ready and willing to embrace the next stage of their future and with a well-developed sense of community.
Enquiries from existing and prospective families about our school are welcome. Please do not hesitate to make an appointment with myself or the Deputy Principals, Nicky Smith and Joseph Jennings – Junior Campus and Terrie McHardie and Shane Mitchell – Senior Campus. We aim to work closely with parents to enable the students to become lifelong learns, no matter what pathways they take.

Parent Portal
Parent Portal is 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 can:
- 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.
If you already have a Parent Portal account, use this Parent Portal access link to start using the great features. You can’t access Parent Portal directly through the ACT Digital Account website, you need to use the link above. When you are logged into Parent Portal, we recommend saving the browser as a favourite or to the homepage on your mobile phone for quick access in the future. The website can only be viewed using a web browser on your computer, mobile phone or tablet. An app is not available at this time.
If you still need to register, you will need an access key and a Parent Portal registration link via email to link your existing account to your child’s records. If you haven’t received this, please contact the school’s front office team for assistance.
If you have any questions, please contact the school at info@chisholm.act.edu.au or on 02 6142 3550.
