Changing to Compass School Manager 

From the beginning of Term 4, Castlemaine Secondary College will be transitioning from XUNO to Compass as our school’s main communication and management platform.

Compass will allow families to access important information such as student timetables, reports, attendance, consent forms, and school news all in one place. It is a widely used system across Victoria and will provide greater consistency and ease of use for both staff and families.

What is Compass?

• Monitor your child’s attendance, and enter an explanation for absence or lateness

• View your child’s timetable and the school calendar
• Monitor your child’s homework and assessment tasks
• Download and view your child’s academic reports
• Book parent-teacher conferences
