Ready to Learn in 2024 

Please ensure that your child is Ready to Learn in 2024 with an exercise book for each subject, a fully stocked pencil case, enclosed black leather shoes for TAS practical lessons and a labelled container if they are a Food Tech student. Students often come unprepared and purchase cutlery and containers. We encourage students to be more sustainable by bringing a container and cutlery. Writing when their practical lessons are in their planner and when to bring these items will really help prepare to develop important organisational skills.

It is mandatory from a work health and safety perspective, and we would like all students to get off to a great start in their practical lessons this year. Thank you for supporting the students.

Subject Fee letters will begin to come home shortly. This covers the cost of consumable materials and supplies. Payment can be made online via the CHS website. Payment options are available. Students can pay weekly, per term or as a lump sum payment. If financial hardship exists, please don’t hesitate to contact the finance department within the school.

Congratulations to our graduates and teachers from the 2023 cohort

We had fantastic above state average results in Community and Family Studies. Well done you lot!

Well done to the Year 12 Hospitality students who achieved a Certificate II in Cookery.

Major projects and portfolios were successfully completed by the Year 12 Industrial Technology Timber class.

 Year 12 fundraising – Valentines Day Cookies

Mrs Duryea’s and Ms Kumar’s Year 12 Hospitality Cookery classes have been busy preparing packaged goods for sale linking perfectly to their unit studied this term Package prepared foodstuffs. We love supporting Year 12 with their fundraising events. Stay tuned for more events and photos.

2024 has started with a bang for students in the TAS faculty. Year 7 have been introduced their first of 3 Technology Mandatory Rotations (Digital Technology, Engineering Studies and Material Technologies: Textiles). Year 8 now have the opportunity to try 3 different rotations (Material Technologies: Timber, Agriculture and Food Technology).

Mrs Duryea's Year 8 Technology Mandatory Food class flipped out with enthusiasm this week preparing their first recipe pancakes.

Year 9 have settled into their new TAS electives of Food Technology, Industrial Technology: Timber and Year 10 are continuing to develop their skills, preparing for life after school.

Our seniors have knuckled down and are busily preparing major works and portfolios, practicing HSC style questions and consuming content in Community & Family Studies, Hospitality, Design and Technology and Industrial Technology. 

Mrs Duryea's Year 11 Hospitality class started their first step towards being work ready. They practised precision cuts by preparing and presenting a salad to industry standards.
