CHES has been established as a centre of excellence in programs for high-achieving and high-ability senior secondary students across Victoria. We are a new co-educational, purpose-built centre where high-achieving and high-ability students can find the support, structure and space to extend their learning beyond a standard VCE program. We offer a suite of programs for senior students from across Victoria's government schools through our state-of-the-art facility and high-quality virtual platform. CHES is located at 669 Chapel Street in South Yarra, next to Melbourne High School, and the facility features our reception area, auditorium, university-standard science laboratories and design rooms, recording studio, staffrooms and a professional learning space. Additionally, CHES provides general-purpose classrooms, collaboration and quiet study areas, and a distinctive rooftop terrace. 
In terms of our curriculum programs, we offer selective VCE subjects and, through our partnerships with universities, we offer Higher Education Studies, which are first-year university subjects that allow students to gain ATAR points and university credits while completing their VCE studies.
Students who undertake a HES or VCE subject at CHES also have access to the student enrichment programs, which includes seminar days at CHES, and masterclasses and expos with universities. We also provide professional learning to teachers across Victoria on meeting the needs of high-ability students. 
Students participating in CHES programs remain enrolled at their secondary school and are supported to undertake a program through CHES as part of their VCE program. Working in close partnership with base schools, students will be enrolled in a CHES course for a fraction of their timetable (typically students will study one subject with us) with the remainder of their enrolment and timetable reflecting the subjects being completed at their base school.
CHES has also established partnerships with a foundation network of five local schools (Mac.Robertson Girls High School, Melbourne Girls College, Melbourne High School, Prahran High School and Richmond High School) and those schools will be able to deliver their own VCE classes within the CHES facility when our spaces are not fully utilised for CHES programs.
The overarching strategic objectives of CHES are to:
improve access to tertiary courses and strengthen tertiary pathways for students making available enrichment and extension opportunities to further stretch and challenge senior students provide additional opportunities for academic stretch and challenge to high-achieving and high-ability students in rural and regional areas and those in priority cohorts. To enable students across Victoria to access CHES programs, including rural and regional students, our programs are accessible through virtual platforms as well as on-site. Given our unique offerings, the Minister for Education has approved special criteria for enrolment to a CHES program. CHES uses a hy-flex approach to teaching and state-of-the-art technology to support the integration of all students, regardless of where in Victoria they may be based. 
Access to CHES CHES is an award-winning 4 storey state-of-the-art facility with university-standard resources, located centrally on Chapel Street in South Yarra. Consistent with other inner city vertical schools, there is no staff car parking available on-site but there is convenient access through a range of public transport options nearby.
