5. The School Portal Admin will be able to:
1. Customise the look and feel of their school community page. This
means they will have the ability to
• Create the organisation (school) pages
• Change the background and colours of the school community
page
• Add the school logo onto the page
What can a School Portal Admin do?

6. When the Coach provides lead user training for the school, the coach will then
assign the School Portal Administrator to the appropriate person in the school.
(After this has been performed, each school will have at least 2 people who can
perform the School Portal Administrator role – the first is the Coach, the second is
the nominated School Portal Admin)
DEECD assigns School Portal Administrator rights to each Ultranet coach for the
schools they look after.
(If you are the coach for 3 schools, you will be the School Portal Administrator for
your 3 schools.)
