Compass Use, Reporting and Learning Redemption

Compass - Attendance and Lesson Plans

Compass is an important tool for students, teachers and parents. Attendance is recorded on Compass each period; students and parents are encouraged to check attendance regularly. Parents can use Compass to approve student absences or to contact teachers if required.

The following information is available through Compass:

• Learning intentions (listed on daily lesson plans)
• Daily instructions and E5 lesson plans for each class
• Learning tasks, including upcoming assessment task, feedback and results
• Regular progress reports

Compass is a vital tool for communication between the school and home. It is important that students, teachers and parents access Compass regularly.  Students are instructed to check Compass for work to continue on with, if their teacher has an unplanned absence. 

Compass is also utilised to regularly communicate with home about attendance, work requirements and extra-curricular activities.
