Welcome to Carlton North Primary School (CNPS), proudly known in the community as Lee Street Primary School. Since 1873, we’ve been at the heart of Carlton North, nurturing generations of learners.
At CNPS, we are a dynamic and inclusive learning community where students thrive through high-quality teaching, innovative learning environments and strong, authentic relationships. We believe in the power of collaboration between students, staff and families, to support every child’s growth and success.
Our commitment to student learning and wellbeing is at the core of everything we do. Guided by an active School Improvement Team, we implement evidence-based teaching practices that challenge, support, and empower students to reach their full potential. We take pride in our vibrant school culture, built on trust, respect and meaningful partnerships with families. By listening and working together, we create a strong sense of belonging where every voice is heard and valued.
Our dedicated staff are passionate, collaborative and continually strive to improve their practice to enhance student outcomes. Learning takes place in our two purpose-designed buildings—karawun (senior/admin) and marnerlong (junior)—which provide learning environments that are future-focused spaces for 21st-century learners.
As a locally zoned school, CNPS is a close-knit and welcoming community. We celebrate diversity and are committed to fostering an environment where all students and families feel included and supported. Our shared values of Respect, Trust, Inclusion and Resilience guide our daily interactions and shape the culture of our school.
We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
