Carlisle Primary School

This is the OFFICIAL Carlisle Primary School facebook page.

Carlisle is a positive and harmonious school where diversity is celebrated. We welcome students from every part of the globe with students from six continents and forty seven countries. We are committed to developing greater understanding and respect of cultures in a caring and supportive environment and utilise the strength of our diversity to engage in special days and events for students and parents. This enriches and encourages our whole school community. We have teams of talented and passionate staff who are dedicated to doing the very best for our students. Our teachers use a student centered approach to learning, using explicit, researched and evidence based teaching strategies. Parents and carers are always welcome in the school as helpers or visitors and we offer free English lessons and other programs to our international parents.
Our present school population is 356 students from Kindergarten to Year 6.

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, behaviour 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 has been adopted. Our student leadership program, through the elected Councillors and Faction Sports Captains, is a living example of the development of the values of social and civic responsibility.

The parent/carer community work in partnership with the school through the School Council and P&C. All parents/carers are welcomed and valued by the school and form a strong link in enabling student success. We have strong partnerships with the local community, especially the Belmont City Council, neighbouring schools and community youth services.
