Carey Baptist College

[EduCativ]

Carey is a community of people united by a shared dream. We long for nothing less than a world transformed by Christ’s love, and we believe as a community that we are called on a mission with God to attempt the extraordinary. Central to our purpose is Carey Baptist College. Established in 1998, Carey Baptist College has grown into a leading co-educational Christian school in Perth’s south-east. The College is well known and respected for its holistic education of students in academic excellence and pastoral care, together with it is passionate local community service.
Our founding campus in Harrisdale offers an established co-educational College, educating over 1400 students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Carey Baptist College established its Forrestdale campus in 2016 and has partnered with local families in developing a vibrant community with an expanding co-educational offering of Primary and Secondary education. This campus currently offers Kindergarten to Year 6 education, expanding into Secondary School in 2019.
When we look at the people, resources, and expertise God has drawn together at Carey, the future looks exciting. We see a time when there will be Carey campuses in Perth, Australia, and beyond. There will be an increased capacity to provide education and support to people who would never be able to provide it for themselves. We see a future where we will provide hope and compassion to some of the most impoverished and most oppressed people globally – where we bring some of our capacity and expertise to work alongside others to support them in their work in education and with families.
We see a change in the cultural climate for communities worldwide where a voice of hope and compassion increases, and cynicism, fear, and oppression are decreasing. We plan to build our capacity to enable us to be part of this transforming vision. This is a compelling but more distant future, and to get there, much needs to be done. The next step is to consolidate our work at Harrisdale and to develop the Forrestdale campus.
Carey is committed to excellence and is conscious that this is not achieved without intentional and focused effort. Our credibility is at stake, and we are never content with the substandard or dreary. The dual theme for this stage will be Realising our Potential – Positioning for Impact.
With a new campus about to open in Forrestdale and a newly built community center at Harrisdale, much of the energy and activity in this next stage will be devoted to ensuring that the potential offered by these new ventures is realized. The balance will be taken by positioning ourselves for future longer-term impact.
Carey Baptist College has two campuses, Harrisdale and Forrestdale. Carey Harrisdale currently educates 1450 students across Early Learning Centre (Kindergarten to Year 1), Primary School (Years 2 to 6), and Secondary School (Years 7 to 12), and Carey Forrestdale educates Kindergarten to Year 5 students, eventually growing to Kindergarten to Year 12.
Carey’s unique structure is designed to assist students as they make critical transitions through childhood and adolescence. When considered together with the high standards of academic rigor and pastoral care, Carey Baptist College is an investment in your children’s future.
