Established in 2005 and located in the former Sadadeen High School building, officially opened on October 19, 1979, Centralian Senior College (CSC) is the largest provider of senior secondary education in Alice Springs, offering an exceptional educational experience for students in Years 10 to 12.

In partnership with Charles Darwin University (CDU), we offer a wide range of vibrant courses designed to help students achieve their personal learning goals and prepare for future pathways—whether that be entering the workforce, pursuing further training, or continuing with higher education.

Our Values

At CSC, we are committed to the pursuit of excellence in everything we do. We believe that a student's success is shaped by the connection between the teacher, the student, and the learning process. This "Instructional Core" is built on three key factors:

• The student’s community connections to family and culture.
• The teacher’s relationship with the student.
• The teacher’s ability to design engaging and effective learning programs.

These factors guide our work and ensure each student receives the best possible educational experience.
