Welcome to Term 2 2025
Introducing new staff:
Kate Newitt
Dear Staff, Parents and Students,
I’m excited to introduce myself as the Acting Principal at Roxburgh Park Primary School for Term 2. I have been a dedicated educator for the past 24 years, and for the last nine years, I have served as an Assistant Principal in the Caroline Springs area. Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to fostering inclusive, supportive, and high-achieving school environments where every student can thrive both academically and personally. It is a privilege to be leading such a dynamic and diverse school community. Over the coming weeks, I look forward to building strong connections with students, families, and staff, and to working collaboratively to ensure the continued success and wellbeing of our school. I will be commencing officially onsite at RPPS on Monday 28th April. I am confident that, together, we will make this a positive and productive term for all.
With warm regards
Kate Newitt
