Our school
Established in 1873, Carrington Public School is a small school that provides big opportunities. We are located in a harbourside suburb, proudly situated on the traditional lands of the Awabakal and Worimi people. Our close knit community means that all students know each other, fostering a safe and welcoming environment where every child is known valued and cared for. Students and families feel a sense of belonging, celebrate diversity and value contributing to the community.
In 2025 we have an enrolment of 113 students including 26 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and 3 students have a language background other than English.
The school community is enriched by proud Aboriginal knowledge holders who share their culture and heritage with students and we value our close connection with the Muloobinbah Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG). A strong partnership with our P&C fosters community spirit and enhances close connections with local businesses who provide valued support for our school. We are an integral part of the community, with students, families, and staff working together to foster a sense of pride and responsibility, ensuring that Carrington Public School remains a strong place of learning and belonging for all.
