Our whole school celebrated student leadership with the 2024 Badge Ceremony concluding the week. It was great to see so many of our students actively engage in the process throughout the term.
Our Year 3-6 students were fortunate to have one of the VIS (Victorian Institute of Sport) speakers visit our school – Stacey Hymer – who is a two-time National champion (gold medal winner) for Taekwondo in 2022 and 2023 as well as many other accomplishments.
Congratulations to our successful candidates for the 2024 School and Sport Captain roles. The four young people that were selected epitomise what leadership is about and we look forward to seeing your personal journey in 2024 unfold.
What a way to end 2023! Our final incursion for the year resulted in students getting an up close encounter with a wide variety of reptiles, mammals and amphibious creatures.
Several of our Year 5/6 students (and Mr M) travelled to Somers for a 9-day intensive camping experience. Students from schools across the Knox network were selected for the opportunity.
Adrian from Gecko Sports returned to Carrington to take our students through weekly volleyball clinics. Students worked through a variety of skills that will build them towards competitive games.
At the 2022 State election, the Victorian Government committed to providing Little Angler Kits to students via schools.
Our eager anglers have taken to the waterways over the Melbourne Cup long weekend with some amazing results!

Today our student leaders, with support from Miss Clohesy, gave our school an insight into the importance of Remembrance Day. Students highlighted that it was a day for us all to remember those who have served and fallen in all wars and peacekeeping operations.
Our Year 4-6 students ventured to Healesville Sanctuary as part of their inquiry learning unit. Each class took part in an educational learning experience organised by the Sanctuary staff, with students having the opportunity to explore, engage and expand their knowledge on native flora and fauna.
Martials Arts were reintroduced to our students focusing on physical and mental well-being through discipline-based activities. Students were put through their paces by the MAT group and worked through breathing, stretching and movement together.
Junior School Council created a bright and vibrant school community this past week hosting the first ‘Wear a loud shirt day’ at Carrington. Our students wanted to highlight hearing loss in children and raise funds for the cause.

Congratulations to Izzy for winning a prize at the Scoresby Secondary College Art Show held earlier this term. There were a lot of things to do including clay, art supplies and crafting activities.
Our Carrington team competed at Division Athletics at Bill Sewart Athletics Track. Competition was fierce with our students showing great sportsmanship and representing our school very well. Results were mixed throughout the day but our students held their heads high after a competitive performance.
Students (and staff) from CPS created a wonderful piece of artwork to celebrate the special day. The artwork was presented by our student leaders at a special whole school gathering.
TRIBE Athletics were held today with students competing in a range of track and field events. Students scored points for their TRIBE by participating in each event. It was great to see so many students dressed in bright colours from head to toe showing their allegiance to their TRIBES.
Students at Carrington this week completed several rotational activities during our SCIENCE week! Miss Colla created a wide range of hands on learning opportunities for our students to challenge themselves including engineering, technology, experiments and robotics.
