Carlton Gardens Primary School

Carlton Gardens Primary School is located on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD. It stands opposite Carlton Gardens and the Melbourne Museum on busy Rathdowne Street. The historic building which is heritage listed is situated just one block from the vibrant Lygon Street precinct and is close to the University of Melbourne and The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. The school has close links with the Museum. Our students are drawn from the surrounding neighbourhood. Each year a number of international students also attend and with their parents become significant members of our school community. There is a strong sense of pride and commitment held within the parent community towards the school. One parent has described our school as a village. Its small size means that the students, staff, and many of the parents know each other and together create a close-knit community working to achieve our educational goals.
