About Us
Carlton Gardens Primary School was built in 1884. Its history and
traditions are highly valued by the Carlton and Melbourne communities.
One parent has described our school as a village. “Its
small size means that the students, staff
and many of the parents know each other and together create a close-knit
community working to achieve our collective educational goals”.
This village is a ‘particularly Australian’ village
welcoming students recently arrived from many different cultures
together with students of grandparents and parents who also attended
this village over past decades.
In 1984 a history of the school was published. Copies of Rathdowne
Street 1884-1984: A Centennial History are available at the school.
The school is structured into multi-age classrooms. These vary from
year to year depending on student numbers: for details please
contact the school.
