School statement

Carranballac P to 9 College is a multi-campus Prep to Year 9 school in Point Cook, Melbourne. Our College encompasses two schools: Boardwalk School & Jamieson Way School. Both schools cater for needs of students across two stages of schooling, Early Years (Prep to Year 4) and Middle Years (Years 5 to 9). With about 1580 students, our staff strive to provide a rich, authentic learning environment to cater for individual needs. Our College is motivated towards the development of 'confident, capable, respected citizens' who care about their world. The College's ethos reflects a commitment to individual development and the personal wellbeing of all students fostering a safe and caring environment. Positive attitudes and leadership skills are built through our extensive Duke of Edinburgh and Soundhouse Performing Arts Programs. Student Leadership Programs are underpinned by outdoor education experiences and challenges. Carranballac P to 9 College is part of a network of schools across the Hobsons Bay area who are working together towards improved learning outcomes as part of the Western Metropolitan Region's commitment to The Blueprint for Government Schools. A review undertaken in 2009 identified literacy and numeracy as priority areas in the development of our new Strategic Plan (2010-2013). Visit the school website.
