Parent Teacher Interviews

Parent-Teacher interviews will occur on Tuesday 29 April. Bookings will be available via Compass.

As we have transitioned from Daymap to Compass, it is essential that all parents download the Compass app to secure their appointments and stay informed.

Parents who have not yet downloaded Compass will receive a reminder email in the coming weeks.

To avoid missing out on the Parent Teacher interviews, we encourage all families to download the Compass app as soon as possible to ensure they are ready for the upcoming interviews.

Please see further information regarding Compass below.

Have You Downloaded the Compass App?

Our school has now fully transitioned to COMPASS as our attendance and parent communication portal. We advise that the former absence text line number, 0457 935 569 is no longer functional. We ask families to remove this absence number from your phones as this will no longer advise the school of your student’s absence.

Please download the COMPASS app. You are able to locate the COMPAS app as either an app through the Play Store and locate Balmoral SHS to sign up. An email from Compass has been sent directly to families with a username and password. This will provide your access to Compass.

We ask families to advise the school of student absences through any of the following three options.

Compass App
Q parents App
Student Absence email: studentabsences@balmoralshs.eq.edu.au

STUDENT LAPTOPS

Balmoral SHS is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) school. All students are expected to have a fully charged laptop at school every day for use in their class lessons and learning activities.

We understand that some families may experience difficulty with purchasing a device for their students. Balmoral SHS is able to offer a temporary laptop hire levy scheme to support families. If you would like more information about this laptop hire program, please contact Mrs Anmaree Hudson - ahuds56@eq.edu.au
