Welcome to CHES
Welcome to the Centre for Higher Education Studies (CHES). We are a centre of excellence dedicated to high-ability and high-achieving senior secondary students across Victoria. We aim to bridge the gap between schools and universities by offering accelerated programs, including first-year university subjects (Higher Education Studies), select VCE subjects and Year 10 enrichment electives designed to challenge and inspire.
Our state-of-the-art centre, strong partnerships with Victorian universities, and groundbreaking hy-flex approach to teaching and learning enable students statewide—including those in metropolitan, rural, regional, and remote areas—to access enrichment, extension, and supported university-level studies. At CHES, we aim to cultivate talents and deepen learning through our supportive statewide community where students can reach their full potential.

CHES is located on the lands of the Wurundjeri People and we wish to acknowledge them as Traditional Owners. Our school community pays respects to their Elders, past, and present and extends this respect to Aboriginal Elders of other communities. CHES respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Victoria and pays respect to the ongoing living cultures of First Peoples.
