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 make contact with 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.
