Redevelopment

Families attending the Parent, Student & Teacher conferences or Open Morning this week may have noticed that CSC has resumed our redeveloped program. 

Over the holidays, building contractor AW Nicholson moved on site to commence the construction of the Performers’ Precinct.  Spaces at the eastern end of the 200 and 300 blocks, as well as the shed adjacent to the gym have been demolished to make way for the new building.

This project will be completed in December this year and includes learning areas for music and drama.  Media areas, general purpose classrooms and a staff office to be built at a later date will complete the Performers’ Precinct.

Contracted by DET to undertake this project is construction company AW Nicholson.  Having had previous experience working with Nicholson on the building of the Wellbeing Centre, we warmly welcome them back.  AW Nicholson employs local and regional sub-contractors including Castlemaine company PCE Services.

With the eastern carpark at CSC now within the fenced off construction zone, families may find parking in the main carpark more difficult.  During this period, we encourage you to park along the north side of Lawson Parade and enter the campus via the small north gate.

We are very excited to be continuing our work towards the complete redevelopment of CSC’s Blakeley Road campus and will keep the updates coming!

Family Finances Update

Family statements will be sent out shortly giving families the opportunity to check that their finances for the College are in order. For those students participating in the music program, term 2 music tuition has now been added to your account.  Payment for music tuition must be paid on a term by term basis to enable your child/ren to participate in the program, ideally within the first 2 weeks of term.

Payment plans for all fees, camps and music tuition are encouraged for families with financial difficulties, bearing in mind that if you are using payment plans for music tuition and camps the full payment is required prior the camp departing and within the first 2 weeks of each term for music tuition.  Unfortunately excursions cannot be added to payment plans and we can no longer accept excursion forms at the office without the payment attached – for those families who have a credit or CSEF funding available to use please make a small note on the excursion form advising of this.

CSEF Applications

Just a reminder for families to submit their CSEF application forms to the college by 30 June if they haven’t already done so.
