Carlton Gardens Primary School

The Carlton Gardens Primary School features a heritage red brick building designed in Gothic Revival style, located at 215 Rathdowne Street between Grattan and Pelham streets.

The Education Department acquired the school grounds from Thomas O'Grady in 1869, and the main building was constructed in 1884, serving temporarily as a hospital during the 1918 flu epidemic.

The institution maintains educational partnerships with nearby Melbourne Museum, RMIT, and the University of Melbourne, enriching students' learning experiences through direct access to these resources.

The school provides education from Prep to Year 6, with recent upgrades adding flexible teaching spaces and accommodating 150 additional students through a $10.59 million renovation project.

Located steps from the Melbourne central business district, the school building earned recognition on the Victorian Heritage Register for its architectural and historical significance.
