Carey College

Primary School | Kindergarten - Year 6

From the Principal

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Carey Baptist College Primary School – a vibrant, compassionate and caring community where staff, parents and children grow and learn together.

Our core College values of honesty, respect, responsibility and service, perseverance, compassion and self-discipline provide the framework for teaching and learning at Carey Primary. With a commitment to excellence in all areas - intellectual, physical, emotional, social and spiritual - it is our aim to help children build strong foundations that will equip them well in the future while encouraging the development of lifelong learning habits.

It is well documented that the early years of a child’s life are critical in the development of their health, learning and behaviours and indeed, it is now recognised that these early years set the course for future success. It is therefore essential that throughout the Primary School years emotional resilience is developed, effective social skills are taught and high standards of behaviour are expected while exposing children to outstanding practice in teaching and learning opportunities. At Carey we believe that God has created every child as unique, precious and of immeasurable worth! We consider it a privilege to journey with you as together we seek to create an environment that encourages, nurtures and challenges your child to become the very best he or she can be!
