At Carrum Downs Secondary College we are passionate that every student grows. We aim to enhance the intellectual, physical, social and emotional development of all students, and we strive to create and maintain a positive, caring and safe learning environment in which all students are provided with the opportunity to achieve success.  We provide students with a balanced and flexible learning program in line with the Victorian Curriculum, which allows students to foster talents and interests, and tailor their learning program towards pursuing a range of potential career pathways. 

Our curriculum structure is organised into 6 learning areas: English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Health & Physical Education and Arts & Technology. Teachers at Carrum Downs Secondary College are allocated into a learning area based on their teaching allotment, and teachers work in teams to deliver our curriculum and plan collaboratively to ensure that we are meeting the needs for every student.

Year 7 to Year 12 students undertake Pastoral Care for one period per week at Carrum Downs Secondary College. Our Pastoral Care curriculum focuses on respectful relationships, resilience and building positive connections.
