Compass Information

On this page we will continue to build up a list of instructions on how to use Compass. You can also access the parent guide from the following link:

Attendance/Absences

When adding an Attendance Note from the app or portal to notify of today's or a future absence, you will only be able to add a full day's absence. If your child is going to be absent for part of a day and you wish to inform the school, please add a full day absence with the relevant reason and add a note to say whether it is for the full day or you expect them to return at  later time or plan to pick up at an earlier time.

Please remember to sign your child in or out at the kiosk by the Front Office if arriving or departing during school hours. 

Finding copies of Information Sent Home through the App

For ease of reference we have created a centralised place in Compass where we will add a copy of all notes etc that have been sent home.

In the app, navigate to More then the School Documents tile, then select Information Sent Home and go to the applicable folder.

Giving Consent for Excursions and Activities 

There have been a number of excursions and activities requiring consent through Compass already this year. If you receive a notification on your app or an email alerting you to a new activity, please provide consent as soon as possible.

If the event is an opt-in activity, you will need to accept the invitation in the first step and then provide consent by completing your name and submitting the consent.

Downloading and Using the Compass School Manager App

It will be helpful for all parents to have access to the Compass School Manager App. We will be using the app/portal for many communications this year, including notifications about First Aid attendance, permissions for events, purchase of school photos, notifications of attendance and absences, and sharing of academic reports.

Instructions to Install and Login to the App

You can find the app from the Google Play or Apple App Store 

You will need to use the login details emailed to you to access your account. If you have difficulty with this please speak to staff at our Front Office.

Please ensure you keep notifications enabled for the app so you will receive up-to-date information about attendance, First Aid etc.

Check my Details

In the app or portal there is opportunity to check your personal details and let us know of any changes or updates. 

First Aid Notifications

Notifications that your child has required first aid will now be sent to the parent that you have nominated as per the 2025 Permissions Form. 

Emails

Compass has a different system for identifying which parents would like to receive general emails from the school. We apologise for those who have missed some emails since the start of the school year.

We are sending emails to all parents unless we have been notified otherwise via the 2025 Permissions Form. Please let the Front Office know if you think you are not receiving emails or if you do not wish to receive emails from the school and we will make necessary adjustments.
