As we near the start of another school year, I welcome all our new and returning students to Castlemaine Secondary College (CSC) for 2025.
CSC Reception will reopen after the holiday break for general questions, assistance with Mentor Day bookings, payment of essential student learning items, and queries on Thursday, 23 January, and Friday, 24 January, between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm (Public Holiday—Australia Day, Mon 27 Jan).
Mentor Interviews Days, Wednesday 29 January & Thursday 30 January
Castlemaine Secondary College operates Mentor Groups for all students. These groups consist of 10-15 students led by a staff mentor who has daily contact with their students, plus an Extended Mentor session once per week. The reduced staff-to-student ratios in mentor groups allows for more personalised support of students and their families.
We warmly invite students, parents, and carers to make a time to meet with your child’s Mentor. This will provide a great opportunity to establish a smooth transition for the 2025 year, ensuring that everything you need to start the year is organised, and discuss your child’s learning for the year.
As students will have their photo taken on the day, they need to wear their school uniform. Uniform items can be purchased from the Beleza Store or online https://store.beleza.com.au/
The Mentor Day Interviews can be booked using our communication system XUNO. Using this system, you will be able to book the interview times that suit you best from any internet-connected device.
