Caroline Chisholm School is an ACT government P-10 school catering for students Pre School to 10. The senior campus accepts enrolments from a priority enrolment area which covers the suburbs of Fadden, Gilmore, Gowrie, Macarthur, most of Chisholm and some parts of Richardson (map). The junior campus accepts enrolments from Chisholm; except south and east parts as well as north east Richardson (map). Enrolments outside these designated areas may be considered at the discretion of the principal.
The school is named after a woman who, as an early settler in Australia, was renowned as a philanthropist, reformer, writer and lecturer. She strove to support and open opportunities for young Australians. The spirit of the school is to continue to work to this goal.
The senior campus is uniquely structured into five subschools designed to provide a supportive environment focused firmly on the student, on building community and on personal growth.
The school’s Principal is Wendy Wurfel.
