Introducing: Quick Observations

Quick Observations strengthens the home-school connection by giving families greater visibility into student achievements, helping them celebrate milestones together. With this new feature, staff can effortlessly share lessons, achievements, and memorable moments—including photos—directly from their mobile or tablet devices.

Perfect for showcasing student work, teachers can now capture a photo as a Quick Observation and instantly share it with parents and guardians, celebrating achievements in real-time.

Adding a Quick Observation: New Staff Shortcut

To add a Quick Observation about a student:

  1. Log in to the Compass App as a staff member
  2. From the home screen, select the ‘Shortcuts’ icon and then tap ‘Quick Observations’
  3. Write your observation about the student’s work
  4. Add an image directly from your device’s gallery or take a real-time photo to include with the observation
  5. Tag the student(s) to link the Quick Observation to their Feed, making it visible from parent and student profiles

Quick Observations: Parent View

Once posted, parents of tagged students can view the observation directly from their Feed in the Compass App or web portal. They can save the post, react, and leave comments—all within one safe and secure platform!

Available in VIC, NSW, QLD, NT & SA.
