COMPASS

It is extremely important that all parents and carers access the COMPASS Portal either via the Compass App on their phone or on their computer desktop. This is our parent communication platform for:

giving permission and making payment for all school events by due dates
receiving important information regarding school activities
receiving your child's school academic reports
booking Parent/Teacher Interviews
submitting absentee notes for your child
emailing your child's teacher

Please ensure that you have NOTIFICATIONS turned on for your Compass App so that you are notified of any communication from Compass.

If you are unable to access COMPASS or cannot remember your username, please contact Ms Traynor at the office for instructions.
