#WeCreate

Grade 6 Transition into Year 7-

Transition is a significant phase of life for all students. The CSC transition team have planned a series of familiarization activities for grade 5 &6’s to get to know our school and to make new friends in preparation for their commencement in 2019. 

Education Week Showcase

On Friday June 1, CSC Year 7&8 English students and the Senior Band performed in the Education Week Showcase at Cobram Primary School. CSC students were treated like rock stars by the primary students who waited eagerly to see the show.  I was impressed by the professionalism of our Senior Band who were able to do a complex set up of the entire band in 30 minutes!  Each student knew exactly what to do & the more experienced students assisted the Year 8’s in their first “public gig”. Our English students did a fine job of their performances. I was so proud of them – thorough preparation and teamwork paid off!  Thanks also to the staff, Justin McLaren, Lauren Parker, Jayne Black and Sienna Bate.  Our students commented, “that was fun, let’s do it again!”
