The student was walking home from Lanyon High School on Box Hill Avenue between 3.15pm and 3.30pm when the man tried to talk to her.
The girl became frightened and ran to a nearby oval next to Charles Conder Primary School.
The man followed the student for a short distance before leaving the area. The student was unharmed.
Police have described the man as Caucasian, about 170cm tall and about 30 years old with short dark hair. At the time he was wearing a grey and black flannelette shirt with dark track pants.
ACT Policing has urged parents to continue educating their children about personal safety including 'stranger danger' awareness and where possible, travelling in groups.
