To ensure Carlton School provides a broad-based education for its students, and to utilise all resources and experts available to us, we bring in providers from out side the school. We also take up government initiatives from the Ministry of Education that add value to the social, emotional and educational development of our students.

The Life Education programme is taught in a mobile classroom that visits the school site for the duration of the lessons. All students learn about healthy lifestyle choices, and the importance of diet and exercise, in a series of lessons over the course of a fortnight by a teacher that travels with the mobile classroom. (This programme is run on a 2-yearly cycle).
This Ministry of Education initiative enables all students to have fresh fruit to eat at school every day. Teachers distribute the fruit twice a day for students to eat in the classrooms.
We regularly teach a range of safety education programmes in conjunction with the Police, the Fire Service, Surf Life saving New Zealand, TranzRail and Swimming New Zealand. The human and educational resources provided by these organisations enable us to give children life skills to keep them safe in their environment beyond the school.
