Providing the right opportunities to excel
Christian Brothers’ High School values academic achievement and supports each boy to excel within his areas of interest and talent
As boys’ education specialists, CBHS Lewisham draws on best-practice pedagogy and a legacy of 130 years of experience to create an environment where boys can excel.
CBHS Lewisham is proudly non-selective and every boy is encouraged to find and achieve his unique academic ambitions. Our quality teaching, innovation, creativity and modern facilities provide the framework that allows each boy to achieve his full potential. The School supports each boy’s talents with a Diverse Learning Centre and a vibrant gifted and talented program.
CBHS Lewisham supports boys to be effective leaders and strong communicators. The curriculum is structured to provide boys with the tools and opportunities to excel academically from Year 5 to Year 12.
The wellbeing of your son is central to our philosophy. Your son will be supported throughout his school career, with programs in place to ensure that boys transition smoothly from primary to high school; Year 10 to the senior school; and from high school into society.
Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.
