Carine Primary School is located 15 kilometres from Perth on the northern coastal strip. Our 600 Kindergarten to Year 7 students enjoy an attractive recreation area surrounded by trees and parkland with plenty of space to play and follow their sporting pursuits. We enjoy excellent support from our school community and parental involvement is encouraged. We value academic performance and operate several talented and gifted programs. Our experienced staff promotes our school's motto, 'Success through Endeavour'. All students are given every opportunity to set goals, self-reflect, self-assess, problem solve and work collaboratively. A Values program based on respecting self and others permeates everything we do. Through the Bluearth Program positive attitudes and physical fitness are promoted. We have four specialist teachers in the areas of Language (German), Physical Education, Music (including choir and instrumental music) and ICT. Higher Order Thinking Strategies are integrated across all aspects of the curriculum. We also run a mentoring and coaching program through the Support-a-Reader and the Volunteers' Program. http://www.carineprimary.wa.edu.au
