Testimonials 'Iï¿½ve only been at this school for a year and a bit but it has been the best! I am really enjoying school and I have improved in my work a tremendous amount. The facilities are great, the library, the computer lab, the science lab and I really love every day. Sometimes I canï¿½t wait until it's school time.' Year 6 Student 'As a parent of a past senior school student and a current senior school student, I always marvel at the opportunities that my children have to ï¿½findï¿½ themselves as young adults in this school. My eldest, was encouraged and supported to undertake an apprenticeship. He is now second in charge and only a few months from qualifying! My younger son has had the opportunity to go to different work experiences, try different careers and is finding his feet. The support of staff is wonderful and the dedication is beyond the call of duty, I donï¿½t think I could deal with the volume of teenagers that they as teachers deal with everyday. I have two and thatï¿½s enough for me! Thank you to all the staff at UCSC for helping my boys find their way in this very confusing world of ours.' UCSC Parent 'Due to its unique P-12 structure UCSC offers both students and staff the opportunity to access many professional skills and educational opportunities in a well structured individual pathway. Along with the latest infrastructure, educational strategies and enthusiastic staff, the children will attain their best here at UCSC. Teaching in such an environment is most rewarding. I am very happy to be a part of the College teaching team.' Teacher Junior School
