Vocational Education and Training

As part of our commitment to developing each student’s unique talents, we offer vocational pathways to prepare boys for their chosen career.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses offer Year 11 and 12 students the opportunity to study for TAFE NSW qualifications as part of their regular Higher School Certificate study program.

The School also offers students the opportunity to study a variety of specialist courses at TAFE and through our partnership with Southern Cross Catholic Vocational College. These courses provide students with skills, training and qualifications that will equip them with a head start in their chosen career or further training.

Co-curricular activities

Central to our focus on growing each boy as an individual, CBHS Lewisham offers a range of co-curricular activities to enhance and nurture each student’s talents, interests and passions.

CBHS Lewisham has a proud sporting tradition with a number of current premiership teams across a range of sports. All boys are encouraged to be active via MCC or Internal Sports each Thursday.

Programs that outdoor challenges, include ski trips, the Duke of Edinburgh program and an aviation club. We also offer debating and public speaking, music groups and performance, history, arts, games, chess and robotics clubs.

Boys are encouraged to initiate groups or support causes that are important to them. Senior boys organise and participate a range of activities close to them each year.

130 years of excellence in education

The story behind the 130 year design

The design as a whole, illustrates the fusion of Indigenous and Irish culture, and how Indigenous history is woven throughout every day, due to being the first custodians of this land.

The four interwoven leaves at the edge represent the strong connection to Irish culture, while branching out and exploring, establishing and living in a new Australian culture. These four leaves also represent the touchstones. The campsite in the middle of the O represents – meeting, communication, bonding, teaching and learning.
