The multi-storey centre includes an auditorium, technology-rich learning spaces and tertiary-standard science and design labs.

CHES programs are accessible through virtual platforms as well as on-site.^[4][5][6]

CHES offers four VCE studies: algorithmics, extended investigation, English language, and specialist mathematics.
