|||
Founded in 1923 by the Rev. L.E. Tranter, the school has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 2250 students from [[Kindergarten]] to Year 12. |
|||
Carey is affiliated with the [[Junior School Heads Association of Australia]] (JSHAA),<ref name=JSHAA>{{cite web |

|||
==History== |
|||
Carey Baptist Grammar School was founded by the Rev. L.E. Tranter, who, at the meetings of the Baptist Union of Victoria held in May 1919, urged consideration of a Baptist secondary school for boys'. The present property with the house 'Urangeline' was purchased for the sum of [[Australian pound|£]]14,000 and the School opened on [[February 13]] [[1923]], with an enrolment of 68 boys. |
|||
At its inception, Carey was accepted into the Schools' Association of Victoria. In 1911 seven schools had broken away from the Schools Association (over the issue of professionalism) to form the Schools Amateur Athletic Association of Victoria. In 1920 this group was expanded into the [[Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria]], by which name it is known today. Carey joined this group in 1928, but then in 1957 the school was invited to join the [[Associated Public Schools of Victoria]], which comprises 11 Victorian independent schools. |
|||
The school began co-education in 1979, when girls entered Years 11 and 12. Co-education was extended to all year levels by 1984. |
|||
14 hectares of land were purchased at [[Bulleen, Victoria|Bulleen]] for [[Carey Sports Complex|sports grounds]], an Outdoor Education facility was built near [[Paynesville, Victoria|Paynesville]] and a Junior School campus at [[Donvale, Victoria|Donvale]] opened in 1989. |
|||
The School recently bought an adjoining property called 'Cluny'. The old buildings were demolished (except for the main building, 'Fairview') to make room for a new grass section for the Junior School at [[Kew, Victoria|Kew]], which was opened on [[October 6]], [[2006]] and is known as Cluny Green. 'Fairview' accommodates the [[Outdoor Education]] staff and Junior School Art and Music studios. |

==Name, badge and motto== |
|||
The name of the school derives from [[William Carey]]. He was the first [[Baptist]] missionary in [[India]], publishing 24 different translations of the Scriptures. |
|||
The School badge represents the old Greek Torch Race, very similar to a relay race, in which a chain of runners each passed to the next a torch which had to be kept burning brightly. |
|||
The School [[motto]] is ''"Animo et Fide"'' which may be translated from [[Latin]] as ''"By Courage and Faith"''. This echoes the texts from [[Isaiah]] 54:2-3 on which Carey based his famous sermon in 1772 when he urged Baptists to form a missionary society. |
|||
==Houses== |
|||
As with most Australian schools, Carey utilises a [[house system]]. |

==Curriculum== |
|||
The [[curriculum]] Carey provides is in line with [[VELS|Victorian Essential Learning Standards]] (VELS), formulated by [[Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority]], which describes what is essential for all Victorian students to learn from Prep to Year 10. VELS provides a framework for the whole school curriculum and sets out the standards that students are expected to achieve in core areas. These areas (called strands) are as follows: Physical, Personal and Social learning which includes the domains of Health and [[Physical Education]]; Interpersonal Development, Personal Learning and [[Civics]] and [[Citizenship]]; Discipline-based learning which includes The Arts, [[English language|English]], Languages Other Than English (LOTE), [[Humanities]], [[Mathematics]] and [[Science]]; Interdisciplinary Learning which includes [[Communication]]; [[Design]], [[Creativity]] and [[Technology]]; ICT and Thinking. |
|||
Students have specific timetabled sessions in |
|||
*English |
|||
*Mathematics |
|||
*Science |
|||
*Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE) |
|||
*Technology |
|||
*Health and Personal Development |
|||
*[[Library]] |
|||
*[[French language|French]] (Years 3-6) |
|||
*[[Art]] |
|||
*[[Music]] |
|||
*Physical Education |
|||
*[[Religious Education]] |
|||
*Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE), Science, Health and Technology are often delivered within an Integrated Curriculum. |
|||
Carey offers senior students a choice of the [[Victorian Certificate of Education]] (VCE) and the [[International Baccalaureate]] (IB), which was introduced in 1998. Some University Enhancement and [[Vocational education|V&ET]] subjects are also available. |
|||
The Senior School [[LOTE]] Learning Area at Carey offers students [[Chinese language|Chinese]] (Mandarin), [[French language|French]], [[German language|German]] and [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]] from Years 10 to 12; and Chinese and Indonesian for first language learners at Years 11 and 12. The IB also offers several languages to students, including Spanish. |
|||
Carey ranked level 11th out of all schools for VCE results in 2006 despite the fact that many of its top students take an IB course, and that unlike some other private schools, every student sits exams through the school. Carey was the second highest co-educational school and the highest of the APS schools on this list.<ref name=AgeVCE>{{cite news| first = Chee Chee | last = Leung| title = MacRobertson girls celebrate fifth year at top| url = http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/macrobertson-girls-celebrate-fifth-year-at-top/2006/12/13/1165685753143.html| publisher = The Age| date = 2006-12-14| accessdate = 2007-09-18}}</ref> |
|||
==Co-curriculum== |
|||
In addition to the sport, debating, music and drama activities discussed below, a broad range of co-curricular activities includes membership of the St John Ambulance Division, taekwondo and yoga and a sequential Outdoor Education program from Year 4 to Year 10. |
|||
===Sport=== |
|||
Carey students participate in sporting activities from an early age. From Year 5 onwards they compete in the Associated Public Schools (APS) competition in many different sports. Carey offers its students facilities at the [[Carey Sports Complex]] at Bulleen. |
|||
Students in Years 7-12 must select a summer (Term 1) and winter season (Term 2 and early Term 3) sport. During the spring season (latter part of Term 3 and early Term 4) all students are offered [[athletics (track and field)|athletics]] and/or [[water polo]]. |
|||
[[Australian rules football]] is one of the more prestigious sports in the APS and though Carey often finishes low on the ladder because of the schools smaller number of boys compared to other APS schools they did manage to win their first and so far their only premiership in 1999 with former AFL player and [[Coleman Medal]]ist [[Brian Taylor]] as coach. |
|||
Carey [[Rugby Union]] is experiencing a renaissance as of 2007 and is growing rapidly in size and popularity. It was the first Victorian team to win a match at the international Southern Skies in [[Queensland]], defeating the [[Brisbane Grammar School]] 1st XV by a try. |
|||
Carey has also been quite successful at [[Rowing (sport)|Rowing]] with 3 first place finishes and 6 second place finishes since the schools first top 3 placing in 1982. |
|||
===Music=== |
|||
[[Image:Careymusic.jpg|frame|A band performing in the Memorial Great Hall|right]] |
|||
Music is included in the curriculum at both Kew (ECC, P-12) and Donvale (ECC, P-6) campuses. Three music programs are integrated across all levels from Kindergarten to Year 12. |
|||
The Instrumental, Speech and Vocal Tuition program is an elective program with specialist teachers. |
|||
The Classroom Music program is compulsory for all students in Junior School and Year 7 students in Middle School. From Year 8 to VCE, Music is an elective timetabled subject. The Year 7, 8 and 9 Classroom Music program includes music practical classes that overlap to some extent with the Music Instrumental, Theory and Vocal Tuition program and a Music Performance program. |
|||
Students in all four sections of the school can participate in a musical production. These productions involve students as singers, actors, dancers and instrumentalists, or as part of the production team as stage crew, stage management,lighting, sound costumes, make-up, front-of-house and publicity. More experienced students will take up stage management and set construction. Usually these productions have a rehearsal/production period of about one term. |
|||
Both Carey's Junior Schools stage musical productions, usually every second year. Generally the Junior musicals involve a whole year level in a scene that is one of many connected to a theme. |
|||
===Debating=== |
|||
Carey teams are entered in the [[Debaters Association of Victoria]] (DAV) Schools' Competition which encompasses A Grade (Year 12) teams to D Grade (Middle School) teams. Debates are held during Terms 1, 2 and 3 and successful teams participate in the State Finals during Terms 3 and 4. In addition to the standard DAV competition, Carey participates in a range of other debating tournaments, including those organised by Rotary and the RSL. |
|||
===Theatre=== |
