Year 7 Transition Program
We work closely with local primary schools to support a smooth transition to secondary school. The program includes:
- Visits to primary schools by our Transition Coordinator
- Experience Days at CSC
- Parent Information Evening
- Distribution of enrolment information and support
Making the Leap
An extended transition program is available for students who may need additional support, including those from small schools or with disabilities, anxiety, or other needs.

Direct Enrolment (All Year Levels)
Direct enrolment begins with a family interview and school tour. This helps us understand your child’s learning needs, interests and previous school experience, and plan an appropriate timetable and start date.
A gradual transition can be arranged if needed, and new students are supported to help them settle in.
Required document:
Birth certificate or proof of birth (for students enrolling from non-Victorian government schools)
Book a Tour
School tours run during school hours so families can see CSC in action.

Junior School
Students in Years 7 to 9 enjoy a broad and balanced curriculum designed to help them explore their strengths and interests, laying the foundation for success in senior school and beyond. Year 7 provides an introduction to all subject areas, giving every student the chance to experience the full range of learning opportunities. From Year 8 onwards, students begin to make elective choices, allowing them to tailor their studies to their developing passions. Throughout these years, students are encouraged to build confidence, embrace challenges, and foster a growth mindset that supports their academic and personal development.

Senior School
As students move into the senior years, they build on the broad and varied learning experiences developed across the curriculum. In Year 10, they begin to look ahead with greater focus, exploring their interests, strengths, and future career possibilities while continuing preparation for the final stages of school life. In Years 11 and 12, students can choose either the VCE or Vocational Major pathway, each offering valuable opportunities to complete nationally recognised VET qualifications that support a wide range of post-school options and aspirations.
