In 2011, Rockdale Public
School continued to provide
outstanding educational
programs to support the
diverse needs and interests
of our students. Rockdale is
a warm and welcoming
learning environment that
challenges students to
achieve their utmost in all
endeavours. The school
community is deeply
committed to preparing our
students to successfully
meet the challenges of the
21st century in an inclusive
multicultural society.
Students and staff at
Rockdale work closely
together to forge a harmony
based around the school’s
values: honesty, respect,
cooperation, responsibility,
fairness and excellence. Our
teachers provided innovative
programs and opportunities
for students that allowed
them to shine in a myriad of
ways. In 2011 there has been
much to celebrate at
Rockdale Public School.
Student achievements
extended across academic,
sporting, musical,
technological and social
domains.
In 2011 our most notable
achievements included:
·
Outstanding performances in
WAKAKIRRI, the national
creative arts story festival
for Primary Schools.
·
Interactive learning
technology utilised in every
classroom
·
The opening of six new
classrooms under the BER
project and the construction
of new play equipment
·
Strong NAPLAN results
achieved by our Year 3 and
Year 5 students
·
A DET Learning for
Sustainability award for its
Environmental Education and
Service Learning programs
and initiatives.
Rockdale Public School is
built on a bedrock of strong
collaboration from all
stakeholders within our
school community. I admire
the dedication and
commitment of our fabulous
teaching and support staff.
The school is also
incredibly fortunate to be
supported by extremely
active and engaged P & C and School Council
associations.
On behalf of the
students, staff and our
school community, I look
forward to welcoming you to
Rockdale Public School.
