Carlisle Primary School - By Former Students

Carlisle Primary School is located 8 km east of the Perth CBD at the corner of two major roads, Orrong Road and Wright Street. The School was established on 19th June 1919. Although the environment outside the school is very busy, Carlisle offers quiet and peaceful surroundings with many large trees, shady verandahs and two grassed playing fields for sport activities.

Our present school population of 418 students from Kindergarten to Year 7 has a wonderfully diverse multi cultural mix. All students take part in learning programs that enable them to develop an understanding and appreciation of different cultural groups.

At Carlisle Primary School, great importance is placed on providing opportunities for students to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes to contribute successfully to a rapidly changing society.

We have a positive reputation for being inclusive of all members of the school community through our quality teaching and learning programs, behavior management processes, pastoral care and parent/carer partnerships.

Our school structure is organised into learning teams, where teachers collaboratively plan the teaching and learning program to ensure that every child’s learning needs are met, academically, socially and emotionally.

Carlisle has a commitment to assisting students to develop their understanding of the Curriculum Framework’s Core Shared Values and a whole school approach across the school has been adopted. Our student leadership program, through the elected Student Councillors and Faction Sports Captains, is a living example of the development of the values of social and civic responsibility.
