COMPASS
Great to see parents utilising COMPASS to access student reports for semester 1 learning. COMPASS will enable families to log student absences, receive instant communications and contact teachers directly through email. COMPASS is a free app that can be downloaded to any Smart Phone via Android or OS devices. We will be offering more ways to interact with our school via COMPASS over the coming months and we encourage you to come and see Dean our ICT Technician if you have any difficulties.
