Charles Campbell College was opened in 2012, after an amalgamation of Campbelltown Primary School and Charles Campbell Secondary School. The College provides a seamless and comprehensive education from Reception to Year 12. All Middle School students from Year 7 to 9 are based on the old 'secondary' campus, and have wide access to specialist facilities and staff.
