Welcome to Cannington Community Education Support Centre
I would like to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of Cannington Community Education Support Centre
(CCESC), a secondary school that caters for 140 students. Students in years 7-10 attend the Cannington
Community College (CCC) site and students in years 11-12 attend the Sevenoaks Senior College (SSC) site.
CCESC is part of the broader Cannington Education precinct, located near Cannington train station.
As an Independent Public School, we provide an authentic curriculum tailored to the needs and aspirations of
each student and foster partnerships with the broader community to ensure our students leave school well
placed for the future.
We pride ourselves on our dedicated team of exceptional teachers, education assistants and support staff.
I hope you find the information contained within to be helpful and informative as you consider your child’s
educational needs. Please feel free to arrange an appointment if you require any other information.
