Principal’s message
Frank Pawlowicz
Welcome to 2012 and our wonderful school . Being Principal of this caring and friendly school is both a privilege and a great source of personal pride
I am very much about clear expectations and required levels of behaviour. Students need a consistent message of how they should go about their lives to become productive members of the wider community. All students are different and can achieve in their own way, but the basic skills of literacy and numeracy are an essential tool for their future success. Our aim is to provide the best education possible for your children and provide them with a happy and safe learning environment where all children have the opportunity to learn to the best of their ability. At Rockbank we are all about placing children in their maximum learning group and our classes are small in number.
