Reporting Absences through Compass

Please note that - in order to comply with government guidelines, the options when reporting absences via Compass have changed.  There are now only 6 options for parents to report an absence:

• medical/illness - this includes dental or any form of medical  appointment - this is an approved absence
• bereavement - this is an approved absence
• truancy - this is not an approved absence and will be further investigated
• parent choice - this is not an approve absence and will be further investigated
• extended family holiday - this is an approved absence
• religious/cultural observance - this is an approved absence

Note that "Parent Choice" is not in the eyes of the Education Department a valid reason for a student not to be at school.  Regular ongoing attendance is vital for the continuity of a successful education.  Unapproved absences will be followed up by the school, as per DET guidelines.

For any assistance with using Compass, logging in, or using any of the many features, please contact the school and we will happily help.
