Carnegie Primary School extends a very warm welcome to everyone, particularly our new families who are beginning their journey with us this year. Our overarching goal is to:

Enable every student, every day, to have a great day.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to cater for the individual needs of a diverse range of students. We promote and implement evidence-based teaching and learning strategies. Our school’s focus is Numeracy and Literacy underpinned by a strong wellbeing strategy. Our school wide initiatives are based on the science of learning and acknowledge how our brains work and remember things (Cognitive Load), and the best ways to teach. We are in the process of writing a Carnegie Playbook to ensure that ‘every year, every teacher is getting better’. We know that we cannot improve practices that are not clearly defined. Our staff are dedicated, passionate and committed to working collaboratively to ensure optimal teaching and learning opportunities for the students.

Specialist programs are offered in Physical Education, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Science and Japanese.

High expectations are held for every student at our school. We celebrate diversity and advocate and implement intervention to personalise learning and afford opportunities for all our students, making reasonable adjustments always. We offer additional Literacy Intervention (Mini Lit and Mac Lit) and Tutor Learning to support and extend our students. We run a range of ‘Student Excellence’ programs and challenges as well as providing Education Support Officers in classrooms.

Carnegie Primary School prides itself on recognising the leadership potential of our students and supporting their development in this area. Students are encouraged to participate in a range of additional learning that the school provides in sport, the Arts, high abilities extension opportunities, and caring for the environment.

The school fosters close links with parents and the broader community and recognises the importance of the partnerships to support and extend student learning achievement and growth, engagement and wellbeing. We see ourselves as partners in the creation of healthy learning environments and excellent educational and wellbeing outcomes. We share a commitment to, and a responsibility for, ensuring inclusive, safe and orderly environments for all staff and students.

We are implementing School Wide Positive Behaviours that reinforce respectful, responsible, and safe behaviours throughout the entire school community to foster a culture of mutual respect and cooperation.

I welcome the opportunity to share our story and facilities via our tours.
