Carina State School - A Place For Everyone - is an inner city multicultural school of 335 consisting of 48 cultures where diversity is recognised and celebrated. Carina State Primary School's dedicated and enthusiastic staff believe our purpose is to commit ourselves as a learning community to the achievement of the best possible educational outcomes for each child. To realise our goal, our curriculum and learning is underpinned by and invested in the employment of best practice pedagogies. We seek to lead, facilitate and engage children in the kinds of learning opportunities appropriate for them as lifelong learners and global citizens in an increasingly global and networked society. We believe our moral purpose to be the student acquisition of Educational Excellence, Social Responsibility, Learning for the Future and Continued Personal Growth and Well-Being. We offer Prep to Year 7 on one large spacious campus with dedicated, enthusiastic and highly professional teachers. We encourage students to participate in a wide range of extra curricular activities including school expo, fancy dress and bush dance evenings, raw art, science challenges and a multicultural day. We utilise computers connected to interactive whiteboards in all our classrooms and both our computer labs. Our Student Council actively promotes student leadership, confidence and responsibility in our students. Our staff includes specialist teachers for Library, Physical Education, Music, LOTE (Japanese), Instrumental Music, Art, Drama and Swimming. Specialist school programs include Games Factory, Values Education and Early Literacy Education. We have an active and welcoming Parents and Community group. Our students in Prep to Year 7 are also able to access a Before School/After School on site and a Vacation School Care Program at the PCYC nearby. There are safe on-site drop off zones for students and parent parking.
