House colours Athletic Day

Please note this will now be held on Friday 5th of September. All students from prep to grade 6 participate in this day and come dressed in their house colours. If your child does not  know if they are in Gemini or Saturn please check with their classroom teacher or at the office. More information about this day will be sent out soon.

R U OK Day  

Next Thursday 11th September is R U OK day. This national day of action encourages Australians to reach out and have meaningful conversations with friends, family, and colleagues to check in on their mental health and wellbeing. We are encouraging students to come dressed in a touch of yellow and will focus on this in class during the day. We will also have a coffee Van onsite from 8:30 providing free coffees for parents and family members - encouraging you to stop and check in with each other while you enjoy your coffee.

As we begin the planning process for 2026, we would appreciate parents notifying the school if your child/ren will not be returning to Rochester Primary School in 2026, as soon as possible.
