Welcome to Carlton North Primary School (CNPS), affectionately known as Lee Street Primary School. CNPS has proudly served its local community since 1873.

Carlton North Primary School places a strong emphasis on how we can best prepare our students for their future. The curriculum focus and instructional practice within the school is based on the belief that all children can learn and what skills do our children need to be successful in their future to be self-managing, life long learners.

At CNPS students are encouraged to be creative, curious and committed to achieving their personal and academic goals. They are empowered to make choices that impact on their learning and wellbeing in a positive way.

Carlton North Primary School is proud of its students’ high levels of academic achievement. We are also committed to developing the ‘whole child’; academic, social, emotional and physical that allows students to truly thrive.

The Staff at CNPS are highly motivated and collaborative and constantly challenge each other to improve their teaching practice and therefore improve student learning outcomes. Our two buildings, karawun (Senior/Admin Building) and marnerlong (Junior Building) provide learning environments suitable for 21st Century learners.

As we can only accept local enrolments, our school community is close knit and welcoming. You will find our community is inclusive and embraces those from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Our school constantly strives to foster our shared values (Respect, Trust, Inclusion and Resilience), designs and behaviours to ensure everyone can reach their full potential.
