We have a strong focus on the development of literacy and numeracy skills and provide a wide range of extra-curricula activities to extend and enrich student learning. Beyond the classroom, students have the opportunity to participate in extensive Dance, Drama, Band, Technology, Choir, Debating, Public Speaking and Interschool Competitive Sport programs.

　　Within a happy, caring environment, students are encouraged to aspire to achieve their personal best at all times. Student learning outcomes are high in comparison to like school and state benchmarks. In last year‘s NAPLAN assessment, Carlingford was ranked number 1 from 20 surrounding schools in both Literacy and Numeracy growth. We relentlessly pursue excellence as we seek to equip each child for their life-long journey in learning.

　　In recognition of the diversity of achievement amongst our students, Carlingford provides a wide range of educational experiences that enable us to meet specific learning needs. Gifted students are catered for through a differentiated curriculum where they are given the opportunity to achieve their best through carefully structured programs and strategies. Students with particular learning difficulties receive extra support from staff trained in working with students with special needs. For students to whom English is not their first language specific support programs are provided.

　　At Carlingford, we endeavour to ensure our students’ primary school experiences are happy, productive and rewarding. All students are treated with respect and individual needs are met in a caring, responsive approach. The development of positive attitudes, self-esteem, self-discipline and respect of others is fostered through recognition, achievement and appropriate reinforcement.

　　The wonderful support and excellent contributions in the education of their children by parents and family members makes for a very strong partnership and contributes greatly to the high reputation that is enjoyed by our school and students within the wider community.
