COMPASS

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

 

Should you require support with using COMPASS please reach out to the main office team on 9304 0400

 

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:

Attendance

  • COMPASS school manager is an amazing tool for communication and for keeping all the information about your child in one place.
  • It is imperative that families build a routine to see the overall picture of how things are going for your child at school. 
  • When you access COMPASS on a laptop, go to the attendance tab (photo attached).
  • The Purple section show you how many days absence they have had in each term

  • The Pink section shows you how many times they have been late to class 

    NB: If you are accessing on a phone you will need to select "open in browser" first, then follow the steps above.

  • Students should be in attendance every class, every day except in case of illness
  • At Glenroy College have a minimum attendance rate of 90%. 
  • Parents should ensure they put an approval on COMPASS for any absence or lateness you are aware of.
  • 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
