COMPASS Learning Management System for Parents:

COMPASS access to parents is now being used in our school as a means of sharing students’ learning content and some notices with some of your child’s classes.
In the future each parent and guardian will be given their own secure login to COMPASS. NOTE – no accounts have been setup yet – we will not send out logins until after Week 3.

You can access COMPASS through the Parent Links on the website or click on: https://margaretrivershs-wa.compass.education/

When you login to COMPASS you will be able to see information specific to your own child/ren such as:

  • The courses your child is enrolled in
  • New – Daily Notices
  • Your child’s timetable

Please note: All marks are subject to moderation and different weightings; therefore they may not reflect their final mark and grade.

If you have any difficulties accessing COMPASS please contact Petra Stene in the Library on 9757 0744 or email her at Petra.Stene@education.wa.edu.au.
