Life at Mount Carmel

More than
a timetable.

A school year with a theme for every month, competitions in three languages, houses that argue and sing against each other — and every festival of every family, kept together.

The year we keep

Every month has a theme

Not decoration — the month's work is built around it. This is our published calendar, June to April.

Three languages, one stage

A child speaks in their own tongue — and in English

Every year, in each of our three languages, every child from Primary to High School writes, speaks and argues in front of the school.

Plus General Knowledge, Drawing and Rangoli — and the Inter-house Patriotic Singing that opens August.

Unity in Diversity

Every family's festival, kept together

Our August theme is not a slogan. These all sit on one school calendar, and the whole school keeps them.

Our own feast

16 July — the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

The day the school takes its name from. It is also the day our first building was blessed, in 1981 — the school was dedicated on its own patron's feast, and the date has been kept every year since.

Our heritage

Sport & play

A courtyard worth running into

Our courts were repainted in 2024 — basketball, throwball and the games the little ones invent for themselves. A volleyball court was built in 2014, and the campus footpath and staircase with it.

Inter-house competition runs through the year: patriotic singing in August for Primary, Middle and High School, debates from November, and the athletics that fills the ground.
