Principal's welcome
Welcome to Carina State School where we proudly embrace the reputation of a small school, connected to community where your child will be embraced.
At our core, we are a close-knit school with a strong community spirit, where every child is known, valued, and supported. Our size allows us to build meaningful connections with students and families while delivering high-quality, evidence-based teaching and learning.
We are committed to ensuring every student becomes a confident, capable reader. Our expert teachers prioritise the teaching of reading through research-backed approaches grounded in the science of reading, setting a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
As we lead the way in implementing Version 9 of the Australian Curriculum, we take a whole-school, contextualised approach. This ensures consistency, alignment, and rich learning experiences tailored to our students' needs and our community's unique context.
At Carina State School we value the whole child. Our balanced approach to wellbeing ensures that the academic, social, and emotional needs of every learner are met through inclusive and supportive practices.
Learning here is vibrant and engaging. Our pedagogy embraces digital technologies to enhance student engagement and equip learners with the skills they need in a rapidly changing world.
We also believe that learning doesn't stop in the classroom. Our playtime enrichment offerings reflect our commitment to a well-rounded education. Students enjoy access to our Basketball Excellence Program, chess, drawing, STEM clubs, table tennis, and table soccer, all of which foster creativity, collaboration, and fun.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our wonderful school. I warmly invite you to visit, meet our dedicated staff, and see firsthand what makes Carins State School such a special place to learn and grow.
Warm regards,
Trent Perry
