The Maitland Campus features a B-12 area school with facilities including a recently constructed Early Learning Centre and JP classroom area, a school farm, a Performing Arts Centre, Recreation Centre, school swimming pool, extensive ovals and playing area and specialist areas for ICT, Design & Technology, Home Economics and Visual Arts. The Point Pearce campus features an open-plan R-2 teaching area, Early Learning Centre and TAFE centre.
CYS continues the fine traditions of its amalgamated schools with a K-12 Agricultural Program, the SAASTA Aboriginal Sports Program, the CYS Festival Choir, the YP Combined Schools Concert Band, Instrumental Music Programs, extensive SAPSASA and Knock-Out sports programs and a focus on 21st Century learning.

CYS Success Stories
Special achievements by CYS students and staff
Bethany and Zeph were both selected as soloists for the Festival of Choir later in the year. It is a real privilege to have one student let alone two students selected. Over 3000 students sing in the event and we have two performing solos! For Bethany this is the second time she has been selected.

Sophie was one of five junior golfers representing YP at Brett Ogle Cup, held in Port Augusta during the 2018 July school holidays. The three day event involved best off-stick score, two games of match play and a round of match play in the final session. Sophie won all three match plays on the second two days. Fantastic!
