Compass – School Management System

Compass is the backbone of Lyndale Secondary College. It is a computer system that teachers, students and parents use for a wide range of reasons. You will receive training in using Compass to:

• look at your timetable, including lesson number, time, teacher, room
• find homework allocated to you by your teacher
• receive and send emails to and from your teachers
• receive and read your progress reports (for students and parents)
• read positive comments from your teachers (for students and parents)
• look at your upcoming schedule
• find and attend special events such as excursions and assemblies
• download your assessment tasks and submit them (by the due date)
• use any resources your teachers upload to support you
• receive college updates and bulletin notices

At first Compass can be a little overwhelming, but you get used to using it very quickly. Do not be afraid to freely explore the system – you cannot break it. It is a good idea to save your Compass page as one of your favourite/bookmarked items on your computer for easy access. Here is a preview of compass:
