25.01.2022 Over the last week we've gone even further to ensure that school communities are supported throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, from waiving the fees for schools wishing to implement Compass quickly to establishing a dedicated Compass community Facebook group. Find out more over on the blog.

24.01.2022 While we're all probably breathing a collective sigh of relief that 2020 is finally almost over (), it's important that we don't lose sight of what we achieved together. A lot happened at Compass this year - and we couldn't have achieved any of it without school communities.

24.01.2022 Our data has shown that one in four students have missed school in the past week, up significantly from one in ten only three weeks ago. With the Victorian government taking decisive action by bringing forward the school holidays to help stem the spread of COVID-19, we're working very closely with school communities to ensure that teachers can continue to support students.

24.01.2022 This time last week we were enjoying a delicious and informative breakfast lead by The Root Cause, empowering school leaders in WA with the knowledge needed to build a healthier, happier school community .

23.01.2022 This Sunday, March 8th, is International Women's Day The theme for #IWD2020 is #GenerationEquality. Working in the education sector, it's important to remember that access to education is a huge aspect of achieving gender equality, and despite the progress that has been made around the world, roughly 16 million women will still never enter a classroom. You can find out how to change this on UN Women's website: https://hubs.ly/H0nmbQr0
