How to contact my student’s teachers

You can contact your child’s teachers by telephoning the school office on 8762 4600. Our reception staff will forward your call to the appropriate teacher’s extension. If the teacher is unavailable, you have the option of leaving a recorded message on their voice mail or calling back at a later time.  Many teachers will provide email contact details to students and may also be contacted through Compass using your parent login.

How to Access Student(s) Reports
  • Login to Compass: https://nossalhs-vic.compass.education/login.aspx
  • Use your parent login details (please do not give these to your child).  If you do not know your login, please use the ‘Can’t access your account?’ link on the login page.

  • You will be taken to this screen (below). Click on the View Academic Reports tab shown here in the red circle.

  • Click on the reports tab to open a PDF of your child(ren)’s report. Some students may have INTERVIEW REQUIRED on some of their subject reports. In these instances, the teacher believes that a three-way conversation with students and parents is required. We ask that all parents who receive a report with INTERVIEW REQUIRED make a booking for, at least, that subject. All other PST Conferences are welcomed and optional.

  • Make a booking with the teachers you wish to see. You do not have to make appointments with all of your child(ren)s teachers, though you are welcome to do so.

Please be aware that due to the high volume of parents accessing the booking system at any one time, there may be a delay in your ability to logon. If you intend accessing the booking system via your place of employment, please ensure you carry your login codes with you. Should you experience any difficulties logging on please retry several times before contacting the school office for assistance.

Should you be unable to book an interview with a particular teacher, or that teacher is unavailable, please send an email to the school (nossal.hs@edumail.vic.gov.au) indicating the name of the teacher(s) you wish to make contact with, and the best way of contacting you to achieve this (mobile phone, email, preferred times, etc). The teachers concerned will be notified, and they will make contact with you within two weeks. If you do not hear from them by the end of this deadline, please email Tracey Mackin (tracey.mackin@nossahs.vic.edu.au) so that this can be followed up.
