A Message From The Principal
I would like to extend a very warm welcome to
Roxburgh Rise Primary School, a government school 20kms north of the city of
Melbourne, within the well-established suburb of Roxburgh Park. Our school has
provided outstanding education for local children since it was established in 2005,
and it is my great privilege to be serving as the principal.
The school’s vision ‘To provide all students
with opportunities to become successful life-long learners’ is underpinned by
the Department of Education’s Vision “A great education for every child
and young person – so they can thrive now, and in the future, for a fairer,
smarter, and more prosperous state.”
Roxburgh Rise Primary schools’ values of Respect,
Inclusiveness, Support and Excellence (RISE), are at the centre of
all the work within the school learning community, ensuring a safe, orderly,
and inclusive environment for all students.
The passionate and professional staff work in collaborative teams to build a
learning environment that ensures all students are challenged to achieve their
best in all that they do. Roxburgh
Rise Primary School is not just a school committed to achieving high academic
standards, it is also a school that prepares students to be curious, critical, and
creative thinkers and problem solvers and this is underpinned by our school
motto ‘Learning for Life’.
Learning for Life means we have a clear focus on
catering for a wide range of students at their point of need, and their personal
interests. We are a proud and diverse
community, with a large proportion our students having a language background
other than English. The range of specialist programs we provide include Visual
Arts, Music, STEM, Physical Education, and Italian.
We
strongly value our home-school partnerships, believing that by working together
we can achieve successful outcomes for all our students, and I am extremely
proud of the community spirit that exists here. We have an active Community Hub
which offers a range of opportunities for members of our community to connect,
build positive relationships and support the schools’ efforts in providing an
excellent education for all.
Being a principal is a great honour, and I look
forward to meeting and welcoming you to the school that I am very proud of. Please
make contact if you would like to learn a little more about our school or to
organise a personal school tour.
