Principal's Message

Welcome Back

A huge welcome back to everyone. I hope the holidays were a bit restful and that everyone is a little recharged. 

A very special welcome to our new prep students and parents. Hopefully you will all enjoy your time in our Rollins community. Please feel free to contact us anytime and we will support you in any manner we can as you merge into our school community.

Many thanks to all our current parents who have been so supportive as we move back into the school year. It is great to see our students here on time, ready to start learning right at 9am and all dressed in school uniform. Please remind your child / children to go to the toilet before school begins.

This includes School Captains, Vice Captains, Colour Captains, and all individual class captain badges. We welcome all parents to our assembly. Congratulations to all our elected leaders.

School Council Elections

We have a few parents whose term of office will be expiring after our first meeting this year. I would like to sincerely thank those members who have so kindly volunteered their personal time to assist our school community. With all the family commitment demands on parents these days it is an added extra for these parents to devote time to assisting us. Many thanks for all your support.

We will be seeking expressions of interest for the vacant parent positions. Please contact the office for the various nomination forms.  I will notify parents via COMPASS of the important application and closing dates. There will be nomination reminders posted around the school. Please keep an eye open for this information if you are interested in serving on the Rollins School Council. If the number of applications exceeds the number of positions we will hold an election.
