Rockbank Primary School
At Rockbank Primary School each student and staff member is seen as a human first and secondly as a student, teacher, leader and the myriad of other titles.
We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land across Australia and pay respects to the Elders past, present and emerging. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and recognise their continuing connection to the land, waters and community.
School Vision and Values
“Nurture. Believe. Achieve,” guides our strong academic focus and enables us to teach all of our students to enact our school values of respect, togetherness, learning and safety.
Our staff nurture our students and provide a strong community feeling at our school. We welcome diversity and encourage students to believe that anything is possible. Staff at Rockbank Primary School provide a stimulating, challenging and caring learning environment that results in students achieving their potential.
Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to Rockbank Primary School
It is a privilege to serve as the Principal of such a vibrant, caring and inclusive school community. At Rockbank Primary School, we are committed to providing every child with the opportunity to thrive academically, socially and emotionally in an environment where they feel safe, respected and valued.
Our school has proudly served the Rockbank community since 1868, and it is an honour to be part of its rich history while helping shape its exciting future. As our local community continues to grow, so too does our school. We embrace this growth while remaining committed to maintaining the strong sense of belonging and connection that has always been at the heart of Rockbank Primary School.
Everything we do is guided by our core values of Respect, Learning, Togetherness and Safety. These values underpin the relationships we build, the learning experiences we provide and the culture we nurture each day. Alongside our mission to Nurture, Believe and Achieve, we create a school where every student is supported to reach their full potential, develop confidence in themselves and become lifelong learners.
Our teaching and learning programs are aligned with the Victorian Curriculum and are designed to meet the individual needs of every learner. We recognise that every child learns differently and at their own pace. Through Individual Learning Plans, targeted intervention and extension programs, and high-quality teaching practices, we ensure that every student is challenged, supported and celebrated throughout their learning journey.
At Rockbank Primary School, we focus on the whole child. We encourage curiosity, creativity and a love of learning while fostering resilience, independence and positive relationships. Our students enjoy engaging specialist programs in Auslan, Visual Arts, Music and Physical Education, along with access to modern learning technologies that enhance classroom experiences and prepare them for the future.
The wellbeing of our students is central to everything we do. Our dedicated Wellbeing Team work alongside all staff to ensure every child feels connected, supported and cared for. We believe that when students feel safe and nurtured, they are empowered to learn, grow and succeed.
We also recognise that strong partnerships between school and home are essential to student success and warmly encourage parents and carers to become active members of our school community through School Council, parent forums, classroom activities, special events, sporting programs and celebrations throughout the year. Together, we create a welcoming and supportive environment where every family belongs.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family makes, and we are proud to offer an environment where children are encouraged to dream, believe in themselves and achieve their personal best.
The staff and I look forward to welcoming your family to Rockbank Primary School and partnering with you throughout your child’s educational journey.
With gratitude,
Christopher Daxecker, Acting Principal
