GNLC Gala Ball Update 

Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in our inaugural GNLC Gala Ball. After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision not to proceed with the event this year.

While we were excited to introduce this new community initiative, we understand that the timing may not have suited our broader College community, especially given the many commitments and challenges families are navigating at present.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to begin planning for a major milestone—the 30th anniversary of GNLC in 2027. We look forward to celebrating this special occasion with a Gala Dinner and hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a memorable evening.

Thank you for your ongoing support and for being part of the Good News story.

Compass Education is Coming! 

Navigating information from Good News Lutheran College (GNLC).

From Term 3 in 2025, GNLC Education will commence a consolidation of platforms to provide important information between home and school.

What is Compass Education?

Compass is a comprehensive school management system that will be used by staff, students and parents across the GNLC community.

Why the change?

We will begin using Compass Education to manage student attendance, academic conferences and publish student academic reports. In addition, Compass Education will also replace our current events management system, known as SignMee. This means that excursion and incursion permissions, event consents and other activity approvals will now be completed directly through Compass.

This centralised approach allows parents to handle all essential functions, such as reporting absences, signing permission slips, booking conferences and viewing reports, in one convenient place, with more features to follow!

Further information on how to use Compass Education will be coming soon, including instructions for all families on how to download an app for mobile devices and how to log in with a username and password to use the system.

2026 Enrolments Updates

We are now commencing Year 7 interviews for both Tarneit and Mambourin campuses for 2026. Families with children already attending the College who have a sibling due to commence Year 7 in 2026 and who have not yet submitted an application, are encouraged to do so immediately to avoid missing out.

Please also note that Prep 2026 applications for the Mambourin campus are now closed. 

For any enrolment enquiries, please contact the Admissions team directly: admissions@goodnews.vic.edu.au
