Parent Community
COMPASS Parent Portal
Digital Technology
Compass School Management is a web-based system that is accessible on any modern web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) or by using the Compass iOS or Android app.
Using Compass allows parents to access up-to-date and meaningful information about their child and our school.
Once registered, we encourage parents to log in to Compass regularly to access up to date information pertaining to their child’s year level. Within the portal, parents can notify absences, book parent teacher interviews, access academic reports, complete permission forms and view the school calendar.
