In Years 7 and 8, we offer an academically selective class, which provides scope to extend these students in their educational abilities as well as a fully supervised HSC Hub to support senior students striving for academic excellence in their Higher School Certificate exams. Camden High School has a strong sporting culture, especially through the sporting exchange program with Cowra High School, which has been running for over 50 years.  We also encourage students to pursue agricultural, technological, creative arts and performing arts experiences at school.
