 The school seeks to serve as a centre for learning Chinese language and culture in an Australian context.  It strives for:

• an inclusive school culture that respect all students and their diverse backgrounds, needs, interests and achievements.

The Chinese programs in ASCC are developed and implemented under the Guideline of Curriculum and Standard Framework in Australian schools and that of Teaching China as Foreign Language stipulated by China Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban) in Beijing, together with school-based curriculum development and management.
