“We are so thrilled to be able to now offer alternative education for these year levels; amazing achievement.”
NEW BUS SERVICE
Cire Community School has experienced considerable growth this year due to the inclusion of years 7 to 9. In response to an increased level of interest in our junior high school program which is based at Yarra Junction, the school will be offering an additional bus service from the start of next term. We currently provide a dedicated bus service linking the Healesville and Badger Creek communities to our school. From the start of term 3, we will expand this service to Chirnside Park, Mooroolbark, Mt Evelyn and Lilydale.
“We recognise that many of our students need an extra level of support in order to have a successful high school experience and we are committed to providing these extra services to our school community”.
