Attendance
Rollins Primary School recognises that being at school on time and attending every day contributes towards a student's learning and that maximising school attendance enhances academic outcomes.
We take attendance very seriously at Rollins PS and have a goal to have as close to 100% of student attendance as possible.

Healthy lunchbox ideas
Students need to eat a variety of foods every day to be healthy and perform well at school.
Ideal school lunches should include at least one item from each food group and also include water.
Encourage students to get involved in the planning, shopping and preparation of foods for their school lunches, so they are more likely to enjoy them.
Find some great ideas to help you get started by visiting Healthy lunchboxes or access their factsheet below.
Sustainability
We are currently collecting bread tags, bottle tops and old mobile phones at school. This not only saves these items from landfill, but helps others less fortunate than us.
Thank you to everyone for all of your bread tags so far - we have collected just over a kilogram of tags that will be delivered to Urban Upcycle, where they will be passed on and help contribute to the purchase of wheelchairs in South Africa. Please continue to bring them in and place them in your classroom collection box.
We are also collecting bottle top lids. These lids are being turned into 3D plastic, which is then used to make prosthetic limbs for third world countries. Please place any lids you have in the box outside the office. There is also a box for any old mobile phones you no longer need or use.
