Legitimate chance to make a real difference to the community, every day

About our School:
Carinity Education Shalom is a school where every young person is valued for who they are, and where education is about more than what happens in the classroom. Culture, community and connection are at the heart of what we do. We are particularly proud of our commitment to recognising and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, while creating a school community where students and families from all backgrounds feel welcome, respected and valued.
Our approach looks beyond academic achievement to support the whole child — recognising the physical, emotional, cultural, social and educational needs of each student. Learning is tailored to individual needs, with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, while students are supported to develop resilience, independence and a sense of belonging.
Commitment to Child Safety and Wellbeing
As part of our commitment to protecting children and young people Carinity complies with Queensland's child safety legislation, including the Reportable Conduct Scheme.
