Congratulations to our Year 12 dancers on an incredible HSC Dance Showcase last night! ✨

What a show to remember. You should all be so proud of what you created and performed — a beautiful reflection of your dedication, passion and love for Dance.

Watching you grow throughout your HSC journey has been such a privilege. You have worked so hard, supported one another and truly left everything on the stage.

Molly is one very proud Dance teacher! 🤍

Congratulations, Year 12 🧑‍🩰🩰 what a way to celebrate all of your hard work! 💫

📅 WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK | TERM 3, WEEK 8

We’re heading into a busy Week 8, with HSC showcase events, major work deadlines and the final week of preparation for our Year 11 students before their Final Examinations commence in Weeks 9 and 10.

For Year 11, this week is the time to consolidate your learning. Check your examination timetable carefully, make sure you know exactly where and when each exam is being held, organise your notes and identify the areas that still need attention. Use your teachers, ask questions and make the most of your remaining class time.

A few reminders for effective exam preparation:

* Create a realistic study plan and break revision into manageable sections.
* Practise recalling information without your notes and complete past or practice questions where possible.
* Prioritise areas you are less confident with rather than repeatedly revising what you already know.
* Get enough sleep, eat properly and give yourself regular breaks.
* On exam days, arrive early and bring everything you need so you can begin calmly and confidently.

Our Year 12 Dance and Drama students have already completed their HSC external performance marking, and this week’s Showcase Nights give our community the chance to celebrate the work they have prepared.

For our HSC Music students, this week is their final opportunity to perform their programs before Music external marking takes place in Week 9, from Monday to Thursday across four days. 🎶

🎟️ Tickets for all Showcase events will be available at the door, with both cash and EFTPOS accepted.

There is plenty happening across campus this week, so check the schedule carefully, support our performers and make Week 8 count! 💜📚🎶🎭💃

📅 WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK | TERM 3, WEEK 7

It’s another big week at CHSC as four more HSC courses reach the final stages of their Major Works and External Assessments. 🎨🎭🪚💻

A huge congratulations to our Visual Arts, Drama, Industrial Technology Timber and Industrial Technology Multimedia students who are putting the finishing touches on their work this week. Months of planning, creating, refining and rehearsing have led to this point. We wish you all the very best as your work is submitted and marked! 🌟

📚 Year 12, the Trials may be over, but the work isn’t finished yet! Over the coming weeks, you will receive valuable feedback from your Trial HSC Examinations that will help you prepare for the HSC. It is imperative that you return to classes and make the most of your final four weeks of normal lessons. Every lesson and every piece of feedback counts as we head towards the HSC External Examinations.

📝 Year 11, you’re entering the home stretch too! You have two final weeks of revision and coursework before your Final Examinations commence in Weeks 9 and 10. Exam timetables have now been issued, so make sure you know when and where your exams are and start planning your revision accordingly.

Our Year 11 students will also come together for a brief Student Meeting on Friday, where we will officially announce our 2027 SRC Executive and College Captains. 👏

💜 Wear It Purple Day will be recognised across the campus this week, with our SRC hosting a lunchtime stall on Tuesday.

Plenty is happening as we head further into Term 3. Stay focused, stay organised and make these final weeks count! 💜

🐧 Creativity, science + software = one incredible game! 🎮

Year 11 Software Engineering student Julia has brought together her passions for art, science and software to create Antarctic Conservation Café as part of her Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) project.

In the game, the player works through each level of the Antarctic food chain, feeding different species to help grow the populations of penguins and seals. 🧊🌊

What makes this project even more impressive is that Julia created every element of the game herself, including the animals, characters and backgrounds. 🎨💻

It’s a fantastic example of how coding can be used to combine creativity, storytelling and technology to create something truly unique.

🎥 Check out Julia’s game in action below!

We are so proud of Julia and the incredible work she has created. We have some very talented Software Engineering students coming through! 👏
