Principal's Message

Hello Roxburgh Homestead Community,

We’ve just wrapped up our first full week of learning. I couldn’t be more impressed with how well our students have settled in their classes. It has been such a positive start to the year.

Foundation Students

I’d like to give a big Roxy Homestead welcome to all the little people who started with us this week. It has been wonderful to meet so many new families and little siblings of our existing students. Our staff are working hard with the Foundation students to help them settle in at school, make new friends, and make a successful start on their learning journey with us. If your child requires any additional support, please reach out to our school wellbeing team via our school office.

School Review

As part of our 2026 School Review, we would like to invite families to contribute by providing feedback on how the school has performed over the past few years. To do this, we will be holding a parent forum on Monday the 9th of February at 2:30pm at the school office. 

If you would like to be a part of this process, please let our office staff know, and we will register your details. You can do this in person, via phone on 9305 1688 or via email at roxburgh.homestead.ps@education.vic.gov.au

Save the Date – 25h of February: Meet the Teacher

Circle the 25th of February in your calendar as our official Meet the Teacher Day. In the coming weeks, we will send out a Compass with more information about this, and you will have the opportunity to make a booking through the Compass system. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to say hello to our friendly staff before and after school.
