Principal's message
Our school's vision is to provide an inclusive and empowering learning environment where every student is challenged to reach their full potential. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and achieve their goals, and we are committed to providing the support and resources necessary for them to do so.
The Rock Central School caters for the educational needs of all students of The Rock community and surrounding areas. Our students range from Kindergarten to Year 10 and include a comprehensive range of abilities. We ensure students have successful transition to kindergarten and Year 7 and our aim is to provide a continuity of learning and support from kindergarten to year 10. We offer the full complement of subjects and learning experiences for all students and our Y9-10 students have a large range of electives to select from. This is attributed to the high quality of teachers, a vast range of teaching skills and experiences and a dedication to their profession as teachers and learners.
We focus on fostering a growth mindset in our students, emphasising the power of effort and perseverance in achieving success.
We believe that education is not just about academic success, but also about the development of the whole child. We provide a wide range of extracurricular activities that foster creativity, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Our school is a place where every student feels safe, valued, and respected. We provide a supportive and inclusive environment that promotes diversity and respects the unique backgrounds and perspectives of all students.
Our vision is to create a school that is a leader in education, where every student is inspired to learn and achieve, and where they are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the 21st century.
