To be considered for a place at Suzanne Cory High School, prospective students must first sit a compulsory entrance examination. The entrance examinations occur mid-year for enrolment in the following year, and are conducted by the Victorian Department of Education and Training.
Our curriculum is designed to meet the individual needs of students, compacting the school curriculum to enable a faster pace of learning, accelerating the entry of students into VCE as appropriate, and enriching and broadening the educational experience of our uniquely talented students.
In addition to our comprehensive school curriculum, Suzanne Cory High School offers students a robust Co-Curricular Program designed to develop students’ citizenship, creativity, and leadership skills, and both enriches and extends students learning and school engagement.
“Respect. Aspiration. Contribution. These are the essential values of a Suzanne Cory education.”
