Welcome from our principal

Welcome to Carlton Public School. Our school community is a vibrant mix of diverse cultures, ideas, and talents, and I am thrilled to have you as part of it.

At Carlton Public School, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where every student feels valued, inspired, and empowered to reach their full potential. Our mission is to provide a high quality education that equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in an ever changing world. We believe in nurturing not just academic excellence, but also the social and emotional wellbeing of our students.

Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to create engaging and innovative learning experiences tailored to the diverse needs of our students. We employ a variety of teaching methods and technologies to ensure that our curriculum is relevant and stimulating. Whether it’s through project-based learning, collaborative group work, or personalised learning plans, we strive to ignite a passion for lifelong learning in every child.

At Carlton Public School, we emphasise the importance of a holistic education that promotes the development of critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, and clubs, which provide students with opportunities to explore their interests and develop new talents outside the classroom.

We encourage our families to be active participants in our school community. Your involvement is invaluable and makes a significant difference in the educational experience of our students. We invite you to attend school events, volunteer your time, and engage in open communication with teachers and staff. Together, we can build a supportive and inclusive atmosphere that nurtures growth and success.

Our core values are being safe; being respectful; and being an engaged learner. We believe that instilling these values in our students will prepare them to navigate the challenges of life with confidence and integrity. Our school promotes an environment where every individual is treated with dignity and kindness, fostering a sense of belonging for all.

Our goal is to create lasting memories and achievements that will shape our students' futures and prepare them for success in their personal and academic lives.

Thank you for being a vital part of the Carlton Public School community.
