Dear Parents/Guardians,

May Attendance Rewards

Today 4 classes enjoyed a movie at the paramount cinema's in Echuca and time at the Moama Adventure Playground as part of the Attendance ladder competition. Grade 2 Carroll finished on top of the ladder with the least absences and the other 3 classes - P/1 Pascoe, P/1 Ross and 5/6 Nihill all had no absences left unexplained. Tomorrow 55 students will enjoy morning tea as a thankyou for having 100% attendance in May.

Junior Park Rangers

Yesterday our 5 Junior park Rangers completed their learning at the Kyabram Fauna Park (zoo) and celebrated the occasion with family watching on as they received their certificates acknowledging their achievement.

Prep Enrolments

Prep enrolments for 2026 are being accepted. The Department of Education suggests schools encourage families to submit these by the end of this term. If you know of families interested in attending Rochester Primary School in 2026, please encourage them to contact the school. 

Semester 1 student reports

Teachers are currently collecting and analysing  student assessment data in preparation for our Semester 1 reports. Over the next couple of weeks, all teachers will be working in Professional Learning Teams to moderate student data in order to make consistent and comparable judgements of student learning against the Curriculum. It is important that students are at school so they can complete these assessments. Student reports will be released via XUNO during the last week of Term 2.

Student Arrival time.

There have been an increasing number of students arriving at school quite early each morning. Please be advised that staff supervision begins at 8:40am and children are not supervised in the yard before this time. We ask that parents and carers ensure students are not left unsupervised by making use of the before school program if needed. Thank you for your help with this.
