However, the journey had only just begun and with the valuable input of foundational schools John and Lucas were able to add new features to the platform to meet school’s needs.Fast forward a decade and Compass’ school management ecosystem is now used in more than 5,000 schools in Australia and beyond: from Melbourne to Mountrath (that’s in Ireland!), Toronto to Toowoomba.It’s no longer just John and Lucas eating sandwiches at the lunch table.
