Principal's Welcome

Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to St. Carlo Borromeo Primary School. St Carlo's is a great school with excellent teachers, very supportive parents and amazing students!

History

St Carlo Borromeo Primary School is situated in the growing community of Greenvale and is part of the Parish of the Good Shepherd. St Carlo Borromeo School was established in 1987 with 120 children. As the suburb developed, the student numbers increased, and in 2020 we have a student population of 578 children. With the growth of student numbers the physical environment has changed, from relocatable classrooms that were frequently surrounded by mud to what is now a beautifully landscaped complex. Extensive building projects have included a multi-purpose hall and parish chapel, a senior classroom block, junior classroom block and an arts centre for both the visual and performing arts. We continue to maintain and update our facilities so that we can provide the best opportunities for our students.
