Caroline Chisholm Catholic College is a co-educational, multi-campus secondary school in Melbourne’s inner west dedicated to learning excellence in an engaged faith-filled and support environment.
We believe every student is talented and offer them the chance to succeed whether academically or through our co-curriculum and extension programs.
Specifically, we offer a number of STEM extension programs including, SEAMS – The University of Melbourne’s Strengthening Engagement and Achievements in Maths and Science, a two-year school holiday program offered to our Year 11 students.
SEAMS was a wonderful program that was extremely beneficial to me as a student. I was able to expand my knowledge and get ahead in school, whilst experiencing what ‘uni life’ really feels like. The mentors and tutors were all encouraging and really informative. I had the opportunity to meet great people and make new friends. I would recommend this camp to everyone, as it is a very enjoyable experience.

Extension programs are not just limited to VCE students. We offer an accelerated educational and enrichment program, Aspire, for students in Years 7 – 9 with exceptional academic abilities and a strong work ethic.
Aspire Science promotes excellence and challenges me to be
my best in a stimulating and personalised learning environment.
Our classes pose real world problems, allowing us to explore and experience authentic and deep learning that challenges our thinking and broadens our knowledge.
