We have some COMPASS changes commencing next week for easy and clear communication from the office.
Following feedback from our families, notifications will now come to parents via a simple text message to your phone, rather than an email. The message will advise parents of any minor injury treated in the first aid room, including minor head knocks with the student’s safe return to class.
For any major head knock or injury parents will be contacted directly via phone.
Will now be sent to parents from 9.30am, via text message. If your child is absent without your explanation, you will receive a text message from the office for your reply.
Instructions for making your payment will be provided from the office via Compass with the step-by-step guide for use on your phone or computer.
Punctuality in consent & payments on COMPASS
Thank you to all of our families who have already paid their family contributions. Please see our Business Manager, if you would like to undertake a payment plan for upcoming school costs.
Please note payments for the majority of school events/excursions will be processed via COMPASS.
Throughout the year there are many payments to be made for excursions, camps and swimming. It is very important that these payments are paid by the due date.
All events that require permission and payment will need to be made by the due date if you wish your child to participate.
Only in very extreme circumstances will we be able to process payments after this date, even if the excursion has not yet happened.
Unfortunately, this means your child misses out on the event.
From experience I know that parents can be quite upset when this occurs, so I ask you to be aware of this process and ensure that consent and payments are made via COMPASS on time.
If you have trouble accessing COMPASS or completing payments, please see our office staff who can assist you with the process.

Annual Privacy Reminder For Our School Community
Our school collects and uses student and parent personal information for standard school functions or where permitted by law, as stated in the Schools’ privacy policy and the Schools’ privacy collection notice.
Our Photographing, Filming and Recording Students policy, describes how we collect and use photographs, video and recordings of students. The policy also explains when parent consent is required and how it can be provided and withdrawn.
We ask parents to also review the guidance we provide on how we use Google Workspace for Education safely at the school and what parents can do to further protect their child’s information. If after reviewing the guidance, you have any questions or concerns regarding your child using Google Workspace for Education, please contact the school.
