From our Principal

St Roch’s School theme 2026:

"United in Faith, Sharing the Light"

Dear Families,

Welcome to Issue 3 for 2026 of our iNewsletter! We hope this newsletter continues to keep you up to date with all the news, events and learning that happens at St Roch's.

Lights, Camera, Excellence!

A massive "thank you" to our incredible current and past students, parents and our staff who participated in the filming for our new school website this week. 

Throughout the process, the film crew was blown away—not just by our students' camera-ready smiles, but by the patience and listening skills they displayed during a long day of "lights, camera, action." It was truly heartwarming to witness the encouragement and compassion our students offered one another, turning every retake into an opportunity for a supportive high-five. Whether sharing their personal experiences or cheering from the sidelines, their cooperation and joy were infectious. It is clear how much pride our students take in their school, and we cannot wait to share the final result, which captures the very best of our community.

Division Swimming

Congratulations to all students who competed in District Swimming and to Zoe, Maddie, Charlotte, Henry and Tabitha in Year 4 who competed today in the Division Swimming. We look forward to hearing how today went.

Year 4 Camp to Sovereign Hill

We look forward to taking our Year 4 students to Sovereign Hill for a two day overnight camp tomorrow. Sincere thanks to Nadine Bolton, Teresa Hogan and Max Pinchbeck for their preparations for this camp. I am looking forward to joining them and our Year 4 students for this great Year 4 event.
