school students and teacher

Carmel High School is widely acknowledged as a centre for academic excellence. Consistently ranked highly, our results are a testament to the strong learning culture that permeates our school. We are delighted to share our 2023 results below:

Our teaching staff are dedicated and supportive, helping students to achieve their individual educational goals. Our size means that students benefit from a nurturing environment dedicated to honing individual skills and interests. At the same time, students in the high school are offered a range of subjects plus the option of WACE or general education for Years 11 and 12.

Within our high-performing environment, considerable emphasis is given to pastoral care. Students are placed into vertical house groups, encouraging authentic interaction between the year levels and enabling older students to act as mentors and leaders to our younger students. Students are given many leadership opportunities throughout high school in the areas of sports, culture, community service and Jewish life.

The learning spaces in the high school are adaptable, allowing for small group collaboration and full class tuition, with our expert teachers aptly moving between different learning spaces and formats. Carmel High School has a fully functional performance space, a newly opened innovation lab, a dedicated Visual and Performing Arts department, a brand new entrepreneurship program space, a Kosher Food Technology centre, gymnasium and numerous multi-functional learning areas.
