What Sets Us Apart
Developing a Mind for Life
At Caulfield Grammar School we nurture learners to become capable, curious and emotionally aware so they can create whatever path in life they choose. This approach provides more than an education. It gives our students the emotional and academic capabilities they need to be themselves, navigate life’s challenges and live with purpose and passion.
Wellbeing and Safety
We have long recognised the intrinsic link between wellbeing and learning. Through our school-wide wellbeing approach called CaulfieldCARES our focus is on providing a nurturing and safe environment where students are supported by an integrated network of care and strong partnerships between home, school and community. Support systems are in place for each child’s emotional and mental wellbeing along with extensive pastoral care underpinned by our School Values.
