Our commitment to better school management extends beyond functionality. A cloud-based MIS has the potential to transform day-to-day school life, use real-time data for informed decisions and seamlessly integrate with all school operations.
Compass MIS is about driving real change, shape individual pathways and enhance pupil outcomes. We’re a true partner in your journey towards creating a better school environment where everyone thrives.
Did you know Compass supports over 2,300 schools across Australia including 800+ non-government schools? We’re built on a foundation of schools from across the Independent, Catholic and Government education systems made up of individual schools to large multi-campus institutions.
This diverse range of users makes our software both robust and compliant, but also flexible enough to cater for a huge range of needs. This successful track record means you can be confident that we’ll configure the right solution for your school, however complex.
Software should do the hard work for you. Compass easily handles the day-to-day across student admin and data management, timetabling, communications and consent, and more. Create the right combination of tools to unlock productivity for administrators, and make life easier for teachers and parents.
