Out side class room sometimes in the late winter one can very clearly see the conspicuous constellation Orion for both northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. This is helpful in knowing the directions. Similarly The Big dipper of northern hemisphere can show us the exact north. Coming to southern hemisphere Crux constellation shows us the directions.
keeping a star charts separately of northern and southern hemisphere one can explain about the directions to secondary school children.
