Complete School Community App

One App for Staff, Parents, and Students

Your complete MIS, but on your phone. Keep everyone connected in one place. The Compass App gives staff, parents, and students secure access to the information they need, anytime, anywhere.

View timetables, attendance, behaviour, and key updates, send and receive messages, and stay on top of what’s happening across the school.

For the school, that means fewer phone calls and emails, fewer missed messages, and a more informed, engaged community. Day-to-day communication becomes simpler, faster, and more consistent for everyone.

Save More of Your Budget

Cost-Effective MIS, Real Budget Impact

Compass helps schools do more with less. By replacing multiple separate systems with one platform, schools typically save around 20% of their technology budget.
 
Fewer licences, fewer support contracts, and fewer renewals to manage mean lower ongoing costs and less admin. You get a modern MIS that covers the essentials in one place, while freeing up budget for staff, resources, and school improvement priorities.
