Curriculum

Junior School: CBC St Kilda provides a diverse curriculum option for students in Years 7, 8 and 9. The Junior School is divided into three distinct programs (Year 7, 8 and 9) that link to provide an overall learning experience.

CBC provides a carefully and seamlessly integrated Senior Pathways Program for our students in Years 10, 11 and 12.

In partnership with our sister school, Presentation College Windsor, VCE Year 11 and VCE Year 12 classes are often co-educational. This allows students a wide range of subjects and flexibility in their choices, as well as providing students an opportunity to work cooperatively in a classroom setting. While the schools remain independent, the combined classes provide a wonderful learning environment.
