Proud 2021, 2022 and 2023 recipients of a Certificate of Commendation for Excellence in Year 12 Outcomes
Our school became an Independent Public School in 2015 and has since been leading academic performance from years 7-12 through the recruitment and development of highly effective program coordinators, teachers and support staff. Our vision is to seek excellence in education. We do this through individualised student pathways, which are consistently reviewed and adapted to ensure the best possible outcomes for all students. The school plans and consults with families, universities and vocational training facilitators to help students achieve their best possible results for their futures.
Our Gifted and Talented (GAT) program is now in its 6th year in 2025. In combination with the GATE program, we offer a suite of tailored learning programs including direct instruction literacy and numeracy classes. Wellbeing is an overarching priority where we have a large team of support staff and wellbeing targeted events for students.

🖤💛❤️ NAIDOC Week 2026 – 50 Years of Deadly
Carine SHS proudly celebrated NAIDOC Week – 50 Years of Deadly during Week 11 of Term 2, with a fantastic program of activities celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and achievements.
The week began with a special NAIDOC PA delivered by Year 12 Head Prefect Paul Hooper, followed by a range of activities including a Year 7 Smoking Ceremony led by Sharon Wood-Kenney, art sessions with Jessica Begg, face painting with First Nations artist Aaliyah Henwood and Ms Mamudoski, a colouring-in competition and photobooth in the Library, and a sausage sizzle, NAIDOC scrunchie sales and nail painting organised by Ms Findlay, Ms Gibson, Home Economics staff and students, and our Year 12 helpers. Students also explored Aboriginal culture through HASS activities and Food Science using native ingredients, while staff enjoyed a NAIDOC morning tea from Mocha Baby and took part in our ‘Deadly’ Commendations.
A very special highlight was the contribution of our Jinjeejerdup Follow the Dream students. Carine’s Year 12 Follow the Dream students delivered a special Acknowledgement of Country and proudly introduced the Jinjeejerdup dancers. The Jinjeejerdup mob shared the richness of Aboriginal culture through a powerful performance of traditional cultural dances, and we are immensely grateful to them for sharing this with our school community — we were incredibly fortunate to experience such a meaningful performance. The Canteen also provided a special morning tea for our Follow the Dream students, while ongoing Follow the Dream projects throughout the week included Camp, Stepping Stones, Tree Planting and the student-led production of an Acknowledgement of Country video.
A huge thank you to every staff member, student, performer and helper who contributed to making NAIDOC Week at Carine SHS such a meaningful and fantastic celebration. 🖤💛❤️
Today we enjoyed the last of our Principal’s Award celebrations with a special morning tea for our outstanding Year 8, 9 and 10 recipients!
Principal’s Awards recognise students who achieve a minimum of 6 A grades (not including IMMS grades) across their Semester 1 subjects, while also demonstrating excellent Attitude, Behaviour and Effort (ABE) with ratings of Consistently or Often.
It was particularly fantastic to hear that so many of our Year 10 recipients have achieved a Principal’s Award every year since Year 7! What an incredible demonstration of consistent effort, dedication and achievement over four years and a goal for our younger students to strive towards.
A massive congratulations to all of our award recipients. We are incredibly proud of your hard work – well done!
