Cranbourne East Secondary College (CESC), located in the Hunt Club Estate, adjacent to Cranbourne East Primary School and Marnebek School, was established in 2011. The College is in Cranbourne East, approximately 55 kilometers south-east from Melbourne CBD.
The Cranbourne East community and cohort is very multicultural, with a significant number of students born overseas and coming from language backgrounds other than English. Students from refugee backgrounds make up approximately 5.4% of the entire cohort, EAL students 7.6%, and >1% of students are indigenous. The 2024 SFOE index is 0.4403.
As a Public Private Partnership school, we continue to experience rapid enrolment growth, with a year 7-12 enrolment exceeding 2100 students, and expected incremental growth over the next few years.
The College currently has approximately 235 full-time and part-time staff that compose of teaching, education support, leadership, principal class, allied health, and paraprofessional staff. The Leadership Team is made up of an Executive Principal, 9 Assistant Principals, 14 Learning Specialists, 26 Leading Teachers, and 3 ES Leaders.
Cranbourne East Secondary College continues to develop a strong sense of community through areas of focus including house culture, student voice and agency, attendance and connectedness, transitions, SWPBS, and wellbeing.
CESC is known and respected for the high expectations we have of our entire community, in all aspects of college life. These expectations extend beyond agreed behaviours and are ingrained in the learning that students are demonstrating in the classroom and form the basis for our comprehensive extra-curricular programs.
At Cranbourne East Secondary College, we stand by our purpose and motto:
¿Giving every student, every opportunity to exceed their potential by providing a high-quality pathway to success.¿
We endeavour to promote an atmosphere of mutual respect, understanding and co-operation which is underpinned by our College values of Respect, Growth, Achievement, and Responsibility.
It is these values that form the basis of our positive school-wide behaviour recognition which also encompasses extra-curricular engagement, leadership, and community service.
Strategic focus areas to improve NAPLAN (Reading, Writing, and Numeracy) alongside student experiences, linked to Attitudes to School Survey, are on an upwards trend. There have been marked improvements in AtoSS in 2024 and 2025 alongside an increase to Year 9 students performing in the Strong and Exceeding bands in NAPLAN.
The College is organised into year level teams for both students and teachers. Year Levels are led by teams of teaching and ES staff, overseen by a Sub-School Assistant Principal. Teams include leadership in the space of connectedness, engagement, transition, and voice and agency.
English, Maths, Science, Humanities, and Health and Physical Education are compulsory from Years 7 to 10 with the Arts, Technology and Languages compulsory in years 7 to 9 and offered as electives in year 10.
Enrichment and support interventions are numerus at the College, including Connect 4 Success, Effective Reading Program, English and Mathematics enrichment classes, Applied Learning Programs, and Hands on Learning. Equal are the extra-curricular opportunities like Inter-School Sport, instrumental music program, and annual College Production.
As students move into Senior School, broad and robust Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) opportunities exist, with or without the Vocational Major (VM). Ongoing growth in our VCE results has led to a consolidation of median student study score of 30 in 2024. Students have an immense breadth of subjects to choose from, with high enrolment and participation in Vocational Educational Training (VET) on-site and with community providers.
Our highly resourced careers team ensures each of our students are provided quality individual counselling towards their chosen career pathway, whilst supporting careers education from year 7 in our Pastoral Program.
