In previous correspondence we indicated that Compass is the College’s new Student Information System and has the following features:

• A tool you will use to access data about your daughter, announcements, the College calendar, information letters, reports, timetables and student information
• A tool you will use to monitor attendance and record/approve absences for your daughter
• A pathway to update family details.

Without access to Compass, parents/carers will not be able to book Parent-Teacher-Student interviews that are coming up both for Stage 6 (Years 11 and 12) and Stages 4 and 5 (Years 7-10). Also as of Week 9 Term 2, the College will no longer be using SKOOLBAG as our instant messaging tool; this will also be taken over by Compass. Amongst other features, academic reports will be only delivered via Compass and not through our traditional paper method as of Semester 2 this year. Therefore it is imperative that you have activated your Compass Account.

On the evening, parents were provided with the Compass Parent Account Package which contains a secure username and password that is for parents/carers ONLY to access Compass. A parent/carer is required to visit the College Reception Office between the hours of 8:30am and 4:00pm to come and pick up their package from 23rd May to 15th June 2018. Your daughters are not permitted to pick up the package on your behalf.

Once you have picked up your package from the College, it is critical that you do not share your username and password with your daughter(s). All students at the College have their own access to Compass. The access we provide parents is for parents ONLY. Please treat this username and password as you would your banking and other delicate identification details.

If you require any help in setting up Compass, the package contains an instruction booklet for parents to navigate both the app and browser versions. If you require further assistance please contact the College on 9725 4322 where a member of the IT support staff will try to assist you.

If you would like to bookmark the required page or download the app before picking up the package, please go to;
