Getting Ready for CBC

Welcome New Families to the CBC Community!

Below you will find quick links to all forms, documents, and detailed information that you will need to ensure your son is ready to start at CBC.

Once you have completed all of the following, we encourage you to explore the Parent Portal which serves as the central information hub and College updates.

If your child is transferring from a different school to CBC,  please complete Box 1 and Box 3 of the Government of South Australia’s Student Transfer Advice form and return it to your son’s current/previous school.

 

Download the SEQTA App

CBC uses SEQTA as the main method of communication with students, parents and caregivers, providing a central location for messaging (Direqt messages), assessment and attendance details, portals, timetables, and more. Click here to download your copy of the SEQTA login instructions. An email will be sent to you just prior to commencement with your login details.
