Middle School (Years 7 to 9)

The wellbeing and happiness of students in their early years of senior school is critical if they are to reach their potential. 

It’s a formative time with lots of changes in bodies and emotions, friendships and interests. The Middle School team nurtures students through this developmental stage, building self-belief and a positive self-image. They’re allowed to stumble and get stronger. They know they’re respected and valued as individuals. We want them to love school and find their passion.

A wide range of Year 9 electives and character building community service opportunities expands their horizon and prepares them for the academic challenges of Senior College. 

Senior College (Years 10 to 12)

In Senior College we continue to develop the personal attributes of understanding, honesty and integrity, individual and team effort. We value diversity, respect for others and authority, and commitment to family and community life. We want students to be excited about life and setting goals for lifelong learning.

When students step-up to Senior College they become bigger people, bigger role models. They’re engaged and vital participants in the school community and are a very active part of making the CCGS culture.

Learning comes in a variety of forms - social, physical, emotional, spiritual and academic. The journey of self-discovery is as vital as learning the prescribed curriculum and plays a significant role in enhancing the values that continue to influence our choices and direction.

Motivational seminars encourage students to reflect on their approach to study, to hold a vision and to lead, as well as respect and encourage those around them who are on the same rigorous academic journey.  

We prepare our students to approach their final exams connected and supportive of each other, with a serious and practical confidence that only comes from knowing that they have prepared well and have honestly done their best.

Our students are particularly friendly and respectful. I always feel a sense of pride and mutual respect when I am in their company. They leave us strong, lovely young people.
