During mentor time your teacher will read out the notices about events that are happening both at CSC and in the community, from Compass News. Your parents or guardians can also look these up on Compass for you.
Please let someone know. Usually, this is your mentor teacher, but any teacher you feel comfortable talking to is fine. Wellbeing staff are also available to chat with. You are not alone. Read more about our Anti-Bullying Policies here.
When you arrive at CSC you will need to sign in at the office before you go to class. Make sure you have a note from your parent or guardian.
When you attend your first day interview, you’ll receive a timetable that tells you which room to go for each of your classes. There are plenty of large site maps in the yard and just ask if you forget how to read the timetable given to you.
Aside from athletics sports, swimming sports and cross country, you can sign up in many sports to compete against schools in the Sandhurst Division. Sports such as tennis, netball, football, soccer and cricket are offered.
Absolutely! We offer a variety of instruments to learn and offer students the chance to join a band or choir. You just need to be keen and committed to practising.
The bell will ring at the end of class. You will then have a changeover time before the next class begins.

If you get lost, just ask someone nearby and they’ll give you directions. Alternatively the Reception staff will be able to look up your timetable to tell you where you need to go.
You should let your teacher know and they will send you to the office. Reception staff will ring your home to see if someone can come and collect you. Don’t use your mobile to contact Mum or Dad.

The CSC Canteen is run by Amy and aims to provide the students with a high quality selection of foods at affordable prices. The Canteen is open each recess and lunch. Students can place lunch orders at the Canteen before 9am and during recess by writing their name and order on an order bag and paying for the item. Pre-ordered items are available for collection from a designated “order collection line” at lunch. Payment for all purchases can be made via cash or Eftpos.
Mentor Days are the first two days at the start of the year. There are no classes on this day to enable students to attend a meeting with their mentor teacher for the year with their parent or carer, receive their timetable, choose a locker, have their official photograph taken for school portraits and ID cards, purchase any uniform items required, pay for essential education items and submit any outstanding forms. Mentor Day allows students and families to tick off all these necessary start of year tasks to be ready to commence classes the following day.
