Parents are an invaluable part of community life here at School. Our community is diverse and rich in academic, spiritual, familial and community wealth and Carey Parents and Community (CPC) seeks to identify and combine these gifts to strengthen and serve the school. Our community is richer because of the partnership with CPC and we encourage all families to get involved.
CPC brings great benefit to the community, as parents and carers generously support the school through volunteering, offering their expertise, time and financial support. Members can form friendships and connections with others in the group as they meet and serve alongside one another, partnering with the school in the nurture and development of the children in their care.
All parents and carers are welcome to attend our Bible Studies which happen at different times throughout the year. Please call us on 9608 2277 if you would like to be involved or find out more.
All parents and carers are also invited to attend our Parent Prayer Group, which meets on Wednesdays in Week B on school grounds (during school term).
Our William Carey Community provides activities and opportunities for people of all ages. We have a few ways we love to support and encourage the youngest members of our community as we seek to build relationships between families.
Carey Cubby has not started for 2026. Official start date TBC.
Carey Cubbyhouse is a playgroup for children aged 0-5 and their parents or carers. It takes place in a supportive, educational environment and provides special time and space to engage with your child/ren and meet other parents and carers with children of a similar age.
Carey Cubbyhouse is open to all members of the local community and takes place on Wednesday mornings from 8:45am am until 10:15 am at Carey Cottage on Turner Oval. Our doors are always open to new families who wish to join in the fun. Just bring along a hat, a drink bottle, and morning tea for your child – there’s no cost involved. Please call us on 9608 2277 or email us if you would like to be involved or find out more.
At WCCS, we endeavour to build relationships with our students’ families and the local community. As such, we provide Hairy McCarey Story Time for pre-school aged children and their parents or carers every Monday at 8:45 – 9:30 am in our Library. This is a free community event and all are welcome. Additionally, parents of pre-school aged children who have been enrolled are welcome to borrow books from our Library at any time.
