Whats Happening at our School. 

Reminder - 2027 Planning

We are currently in the process of planning 2027 staffing and class structures. To assist in this process, if your family is planning to move on from our school next year, please inform the school office as soon as possible.

Similarly, if you are aware of a family who is planning to come into our school in 2027, please encourage them to also contact the office as soon as possible if they haven't already done so.

In planning for 2027 classes, each year our students are asked to nominate some students they would like to be placed with in their class next year. If your family has a particular request in terms of social relationships, please email peter.watson@education.vic.gov.au with this request before close of business on Monday, November 9. Please note that while we will do our best, we can rarely guarantee that such requests can be accommodated, such as is the exceptionally complicated task of class creation.

Also please note that, in general, we do not consider requests for a specific teacher for your child, unless exceptionally compelling reasons exist.

2026 School Disco

Our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful group of PFA members and volunteers who created such a brilliant disco for our students!

The students had a great time dancing to the music provided by our volunteer DJ and the incomparable Cindy as resident MC and general Hype Person!

Another reminder of the wonderfully supportive community of volunteers we have at Robbie Mac, always willing to go the extra mile to give our students special experiences.

Preventing and Responding to Racism in Schools Policy

The Department of Education has recently updated and strengthened its Preventing and Responding to Racism in Schools Policy. This is a policy that covers all Department of Education schools - there is no separate policy at the school level.

At Roberts McCubbin Primary School, we value the diversity of culture, ethnicity, and faith of all our students. We are proud of our diversity, and everyone is welcome at our school.

Celebrating the diversity of our community makes us stronger, kinder and more innovative. We are committed to making sure that students from all backgrounds feel accepted, supported and able to learn.

We teach all students according to our school values and teach the respectful relationships framework. This includes education around diversity and inclusion.To achieve our values and aims, everyone at Roberts McCubbin Primary School plays an important role.

Through our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support framework, our values of Respect, Resilience and Inclusion are at the forefront of everything we do. To help us make Roberts McCubbin Primary School a place where everyone feels welcome, respected and supported, we encourage you to also speak to your child about these values, as well as the importance of:

-    understanding that we celebrate diversity and multicultural inclusion

-    understanding the importance of everyone at school being treated with respect.

For more information, please see Racism: talking with children and teens, Raising Children Network. 

We expect families to also display our school values when dealing with other members of our school community.

SunSmart Reminder – Hats Required 

As part of our school’s SunSmart policy, the official SunSmart period is now active. We expect that all students wear their hat during the SunSmart period our 'no hat, no play' system is currently in place. Please ensure your child’s hat is clearly labelled and brought to school each day. Spartan Uniforms have hats in stock for purchase if needed. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe in the sun.
