Welcome to Carrington
Welcome to Carrington
Our Year 4-6 students participated in the Bayswater District Inter-school sports competition.
Last week Hockey Victoria partnered with Knox Hockey Club to provide our school with hour long clinics as part of the Roadshow Program. These sessions allowed students to learn the basics of hockey in a fun and safe game-based environment.
Students engaged in an hour-long music performance from Kaboom Percussion as well as their own classroom workshop. The lead performers – Aiden and Laura – demonstrated a range of percussion styles and improvised using everyday objects.
Welcome to Carrington Primary School.
Our senior school students participated in the Fully Loaded Softball Division finals this past week. It was great to see our small school competing with much larger groups and holding our own.
Our senior students headed to Gippsland for their biannual camping experience. Students worked through activities that supported collaboration and teamwork whilst also encouraging them to challenge themselves.
Our annual Christmas Concert was held in the hall this week with a wonderful turnout of family and friends to support our students.
Introducing our 2025 School Captains and Sport Captains. Congratulations to Charlotte, Pavel, Chase and Levi. Looking forward to a great year ahead! We look forward to seeing our new leaders in action and imprinting their own voice on our school in the long-term.
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.
Our annual school-wide Cross Country was completed on Friday with students from Foundation to Year 6 taking part. The Junior school ran during the morning block, followed by our senior students.
Our student leadership team were again exceptional role models as they provided our community with a highly detailed presentation at the ANZAC Day assembly.
One of the biggest highlights for our students (and staff) is Momentous May. Being able to dress up as a character-inspired outfit is always a lot of fun. Bright colours filled the hall as our students engaged in a variety of themed activities that involved teamwork, throwing, catching and running.
100 days of school was celebrated in style by our Foundation and Year 1 students. It was great to see so many creative ways of celebrating the milestone!
Science was on the tip of everyone’s tongue as we completed our annual explore, experiment and engage activities as part of Science Week.
Bright colours filled the oval as we completed another Athletics Carnival at Carrington. Some very competitive and spirited races were held throughout the morning and middle session.
It was another great turnout for our special afternoon tea. This time it was to celebrate the special men in our lives. The event began in classrooms where a hands-on activity was completed.
Our Year 3-6 students represented CPS at the Bayswater District Athletics this week which were held at Ringwood Athletics Track. There were some very strong performances throughout the day. Some students competed at District level for the first time providing them with a great learning opportunity.
Year 5 students ventured to Scoresby SC for the annual Discovery Day. Students engaged in design activities, home economics and other tasks throughout the day. It was great to see so many former CPS students throughtout the day.
Our senior students competed in a round-robin competition for Tee-ball and soccer this week. It was fantastic to have such high participation rates in each sport, with several teams competing on the day. Thank you to Mr Walsh, Mr M and Miss Clohesy for supporting the students on the day.
Leah and Scout have visited CPS each fortnight working with our Foundation-Year 3 students. Our students have worked on a variety of skills including developing relationships, collaborating on tasks and identifying emotions.
