CHS STRETCH Program

Supporting young people to excel

We are committed to high achievement and excellence for our students. In 2025 we are introducing a STRETCH program to extend those with high intellectual potential in Years 9-12 to excel academically. The program:   

• Fosters the formation of supportive friendships among students 
• Challenges students to extend themselves academically, by participating in activities that promote critical and creative thinking 
• Allows students from Year 9 to complete SACE credits
