Strategic Priorities 2024 - 2025

Mission

We are proud to be a dynamic organisation which predicts and responds organically to the demands, challenges, and technological developments of life in the 21st century. We will support our children in accessing a curriculum which offers breadth, academic rigour, and opportunity regardless of background or starting point. An education at CHS will enable students to leave as members of the local and global community, equipped with the skills, experience and attributes to succeed in whichever pathway they choose.
