Carey is a leading co-educational independent school offering three-year-old Early Learning to Year 12. Our forward-thinking education empowers our students to become confident and responsible global citizens. Our vibrant spaces and innovative learning and wellbeing programs inspire young minds and enable students to follow their passions and shape their futures.
Through nurturing student wellbeing and supporting their individual interests, we foster an environment that supports students to achieve their best while also developing individuals withintegrity, resilience and a social conscience.
While Carey students are at school, we make sure they have a sense of purpose and develop viable pathways for beyond school. It is important to us that our students leave Carey as well-rounded, respectful and hopeful young people who will create positive change in the world.
We are empathetic, compassionate and understanding. We build strong connections by prioritising the wellbeing of ourselves and all in our community, listening to the needs of others without judgement, and having an awareness of our own actions and responsibilities.
Respect
In line with our Baptist values, we are considerate, we value fairness and we each actively maintain a supportive and inclusive culture. Our community is strengthened by welcoming and celebrating difference and diversity, and we embrace the range of experiences and perspectives this brings. We display respect for ourselves, each other and the environments in which we live, work and play.
Growth
We create an environment that supports personal, academic and professional growth, and we view challenges and adversity as opportunities to learn, innovate and improve. We recognise that everyone in our community will have a different pathway and we encourage all to be the best they can be, acknowledging that we all grow at different rates and in different ways.

I am very pleased to share with you our combined IB and VCE results for the Class of 2025. Today, we recognise not only our Year 12 students’ excellent academic achievements, but also the personal growth they have experienced through overcoming challenges and embracing the opportunities presented to them.
The Class of 2025 has been remarkably supportive, cohesive and positive during Year 12, an attitude we witnessed across their earlier years at our school. There were many individual, group and team highlights and achievements this year, including our student leaders driving the introduction, and subsequent winning, of the APS Giving Cup for our whole-school community.
The IB and VCE scores outlined below are some of the highest results we have seen in recent years. I thank our dedicated team of teaching and professional staff for their work throughout the year to support each student to achieve their best.
We will remember this cohort fondly and we look forward to seeing the impact they will have on the world beyond Carey. We wish them well on their journeys.
With best wishes,
Jonathan Walter
Principal

It is an honour to be the Principal of Carey Baptist Grammar School and to lead our progressive and innovative community.
In our complex and ever-changing world, it is clear that today’s young people will be faced with a unique set of challenges in the future. It is our responsibility to ensure our students are prepared for their journeys beyond school armed with creativity, a positive mindset, and the knowledge and skills they will need to thrive.
I firmly believe that our educational philosophy is the ideal framework for this. It enables students to develop their individual strengths and follow their passions, whether that be as academics, creators, innovators or athletes. By emphasising the development of personal attributes and nurturing each student’s wellbeing and individual interests, we foster an environment that helps students to develop character and achieve their best academically.
We believe co-education is a vital part of helping our students to develop who they are from an early age, and we maintain an even gender balance across the whole school. By encouraging children to work effectively and respectfully with a diverse group of other people, we are helping them embrace these differences and learn to understand others. The world is not segregated, and Carey provides the best opportunities for students to broaden their perspectives, connect with one another and flourish together.
Carey and its community are inseparably linked. The significant contribution of our community enables the development and success of the young people in our care and is a testament to our deeply-held belief in a shared responsibility for creating tomorrow’s thinkers, leaders and positive change makers.
We understand that every child is unique and that there will need to be a range of different pathways to support the journey of each student through our school. We work in partnership with families to deliver a holistic education that will equip our students with both the desire and the skills to play an active role in shaping the future and to have a positive impact on the world.
I encourage you to attend an Open Morning, speak to our staff and students and find out more about what your Carey journey could look like.
Regards,
Jonathan Walter, BA, DipEd, MA
