Carey Baptist Grammar School, commonly known as Carey, is a private, co-educational, Baptist day school in Victoria, Australia.

The school has five campuses: Kew (ELC to Year 12), Donvale (ELC to Year 6), the Carey Sports Complex in Bulleen, the Carey Sport Complex in Kew and an outdoor education camp near Paynesville in eastern Gippsland called Carey Toonallook.

Carey is affiliated with the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[4] the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[5] the Association of Independent Schools of Victoria (AISV),[6] and has been a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS) since 1958.[7] The school has offered the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) since 1997.[8]

History

Founded in 1923, the school has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 2,500 students from ELC to Year 12.[9]

In 1971, the William Carey Chapel was opened. The design was led by the chaplain of the school at the time, Alan Wright. The chapel was paid for by the 'Forward Carey' Appeal of 1960. Construction began in 1969. In 2020, the chapel was declared heritage listed by the local Boroondara Council.[10]

The school began co-education in 1979 when girls entered Years 11 and 12.[9] By 2011, the school achieved an even gender split between boys and girls.[11]

The school celebrated its centenary year in 2023 with various celebrations throughout the year.[12] Carey purchased the Kalimna mansion from nearby Preshil in 2024.[13]

Principals

There have been eight principals (formerly headmasters before 1989) since the school was founded in 1923. The current principal is Jonathan Walter, since January 2020.[14]
