Compass

Compass: School management made easy in one connected platform.

  • All students should be Ready to Learn to every class with their charged laptop, writing materials and any books they require.

COMPASS

COMPASS is a comprehensive school management system that supports students, families and the College in ensuring information is available in one place.

 

We currently use COMPASS for the following features:

  • Important messages, 
  • Notifications & emails
  • Notice of detentions
  • Attendance and Late for class
  • Class schedules and calendars
  • Excursion approvals and payments
  • Reports

A couple of guides are available to support families:

COMPASS is available through a web browser or through an App. To download the Compass App on your mobile device, search for 'Compass School Manager' on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Passwords for families who are yet to log in have been sent out again today. If you need support with passwords please contact our IT department via phone.

Attendance

  • Students should be in attendance every class, every day except in case of illness
  • At Glenroy College have a minimum attendance rate of 90%. Students below this may not be able to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to successfully complete a subject or year level, and this is particularly important at VCE
  • Parents should ensure they put an approval on COMPASS for any absence or lateness you are aware of. These can be entered in advance if you know ahead of time
  • Students who arrive to any class after the bell will be marked as late, and our existing consequences will continue for students who are late 3 times or more in a term.

Uniform

  • Full school uniform is expected to be worn every day
  • Sports Uniform may only be worn on days when student have PE or interschool sports
  • We understand that sometimes there are circumstances which mean students will wear non-uniform items, and when this is the case parents should contact the relevant sub-school (Crystal Miggiani in Junior School, and Danielle Newman in Senior School) to ensure this is noted on COMPASS so students will not have the item confiscated
