Email access
Each student enrolled in a state school receives a unique email address which is in the following format: username@eq.edu.au. This is part of the state-wide Department of Education Managed Internet Service (MIS) which incorporates a filtering tool for inappropriate language in email text and attachments.
Students use their username and password (see above) to access their email through any of the following websites:
This email must be used for all school related tasks, and must not be used for personal or social use. Any communication to RSHS staff must be using school email.
Students should be aware that emails are filtered by the Department of Education Managed Internet Service (MIS) system, and use of inappropriate language, including in attachments, will be detected and emails quarantined. Department of Education and RSHS Behaviour Management Policies must be followed when sending and receiving emails using a school account.
Username and password
Students each receive a username and password when they are enrolled in a Queensland state school. This allows access to a range of online services and the RSHS network.
- New students enrolling through the year will be able to get their username and passwords from their class. Note that it can take a minimum of 2 days from a student's official start date for a network account to be generated, and longer in peak times.
Usernames can also be obtained from class teachers.
Passwords can be reset by any class teacher who has a Windows laptop.
