How does this partnership benefit our community?

- Staff receiving targeted professional learning opportunities in a range of curriculum areas. Professional Learning is led by University faculty staff
- Parents are provided with the opportunity to engage with Compass staff. This includes the invitation to Sydney University Open Day and attendance at a variety of CBHS events. This includes our Open Day (25 Feb) and Subject-Selection evenings.
