**Location Profile**:
Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School is located in Cranbourne North, a multi-cultural region in Melbourne¿s south-eastern growth corridor in the City of Casey. Currently, there are 597 students and 72 staff.

Learning at Cranbourne Carlisle incorporates both Victorian and English as an Additional Language (EAL) curriculum. Teachers foster an environment that delivers differentiated learning through explicit instruction, discovery and inquiry in both flexible and traditional learning spaces. Our early years literacy program embeds a synthetic-phonics approach to learning language.

Our caring, multicultural school community works to enable all individuals to realise their personal and academic potential in a learning environment that promotes curiosity, persistence, resilience and respect. Personal wellbeing and academic success are equally valued, supported by our belief that the all-round development of each child is vital for a healthy and successful life.

63 percent of our children speak a language other than English. This rich socio-cultural mix is a significant feature of our school and is regularly celebrated through our Cultural Connections Days, bringing together the whole community through music, dance, food and art promoting respect, acceptance and understanding.

All our teachers are committed to contributing to professional learning through engagement with research and data discussions in PLTs. Teachers at Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School lead, share and reflect upon teaching and learning strategies and their own professional practice. They collaborate to implement innovative curriculum programs and share best practice.
