In line with Sydney Catholic Schools guidelines around attendance and school processes, there have been recent changes to Compass and the way that attendance notes can be entered and saved. 

For student leave greater than 10 school days outside of the school vacation period, parents will need to contact the school submitting an application form via email to info@shmosman.catholic.edu.au  this form is available in the School Documentation area in Compass, or appears as a pop-up when a parent attempts to add an Attendance note for a period greater than 10 days.  All applications will be reviewed by the school and approved at the discretion of the Principal. 

Further to this, Attendance notes entered via Compass requesting student leave between 5-10 school days will also be reviewed by the school.  These notes can be entered into Compass and parents will notice a pop-up stating this.  Upon receiving the note, the school will review the request and contact the parent/caregiver should amendments be made to the note or the attendance code requested. 

We thank you for your support with this and appreciate the time and effort of our parents/caregivers to regularly access Compass, especially in the area of attendance and explaining absences.
