We want to take a moment to express our gratitude to all the independent schools using Compass. Your loyalty and trust in our software solutions mean the world to us. It’s because of your continued support and dedication to excellence in education that we are inspired to innovate and improve continually. Thank you for being such an integral part of our community. We have some exciting updates to share that we have implemented in 2024 and to give you an insight into what is on the horizon to better help you plan.
NEW: Update Medical Details (with an external SIS)
We are excited to announce parents will be able to update their students medical details in Compass directly for school approval and automatically publish in People Management.
We will be looking for schools to trial this soon. To register your interest, please email customersuccess@compass.education
NEW: Enrolments and 3rd Parties
Compass offers an Enrolment solution for Compass SIS schools using the recently released Enrolments V2 Pro module, many schools however already have an existing enrolments package that they wish to continue using so we’ve identified the 3 main providers in Australia to integrate with further driving efficiency in our partnering schools.
Compass has finished work on the new API to support import of student and family data from external enrolment packages. We are working closely with EnrolHQ, Digistorm and EnquiryTracker to support their product development in creating an integration pathway back to Compass from their respective products. Once product development is completed by these vendors and they have completed our testing requirements, they will be ready for market.
*Please note the EnrolmentsV2 PRO module is required for the API.
NEW: Photo Publishing Permissions, Alerts and Medication Consent mapping from Synergetic
Contact us to have the photo publishing alert flag, alerts and medication consent available in sickbay enabled for your portal.
*Please note we are in the process of releasing this to all markets over the next couple of months, early availability is subject to Compasslink release to your region.
*This is not available for ICON integrations, only direct on-premise Synergetic integrations via Compasslink.
