We are a proudly inclusive school, where individuality and independent thinking are encouraged. Every student can feel a sense of belonging and is empowered to follow their passions and pursue their interests.

At the core of what we encourage our students to be are the values of care, respect and growth. Within these values, we foster inclusiveness, empathy and resilience, alongside the development of collaboration, courage, curiosity and imagination within and outside of the classroom.

The values don't only apply to students: all staff are encouraged to carry these values in their day-to-day, including when interacting with students, parents and colleagues as well as in all aspects of their work.

'Carey's cultural foundations are recognised in our values of care, respect and growth. Those values can be seen throughout our history and are displayed through our impact on local, national and global communities and through our thousands of alumni whose education has led them to achieve great things.'

– Tim Chilvers, Chair of the Board

Dear Families

I am very pleased to share with you the results of our Year 12 Class of 2024.

We are immensely proud of our Year 12 students, not only for their outstanding academic achievements but also for their invaluable contributions to our school community over the years. They have demonstrated remarkable growth and resilience, rising to challenges and embracing new realities with determination. As a community, we celebrate their readiness to face the future with courage, curiosity and compassion.

While we are extremely proud of these results and our high performing students, these are but one measure of the achievement of this cohort. There are many stories that sit behind these numbers that demonstrate the personal growth and achievements of our students. No matter the result, we are confident that our students are well-prepared for the opportunities and challenges ahead. We wish our students all the very best as they take their next steps, which may include further study, joining the workforce or taking a gap year.

We sincerely thank our dedicated team of teaching and professional staff who work in partnership with our families to support each student to achieve their best.
