Welcome to the final week of Compass Countdown! This week, we’re wrapping up with two updates designed to make Event roll marking faster and simpler. Split large groups across multiple teachers for quicker roll marking, and spin up emergency rolls on the spot so nothing gets missed.

Attendee Grouping in Event Rolls

Marking the roll for large events just got easier! Event rolls can now be split into groups, allowing staff to mark their assigned students simultaneously. Perfect for assemblies, excursions, sports days, and any event where you’ve got a big cohort split across multiple staff.
Simply assign the group of students to the relevant staff member, allowing them to mark their sections of the roll as needed.
Available in VIC, NSW, SA, QLD, NT & WA Independent schools
Emergency Roll Marking
Emergency roll marking is now built straight into Compass! For those moments where efficiency is paramount, schools can account for every student quickly, with multiple staff marking their section of the roll simultaneously and leadership getting a real-time view of who’s safely accounted for.

When running the Emergency export, select Create Event, and an event will be generated with the students automatically grouped into the required sections (Form Group, Year Level, etc) to be easily marked off by staff.
Available in VIC, NSW, SA, QLD, NT & WA Independent schools
