At Roslyn Primary School we encourage everyone to strive to achieve their greatest potential to make a positive contribution to diverse and ever-changing local and global society. In embracing our school's motto of `Rocketing to Success, we endeavour to develop creative, innovative individuals, who are able to embrace the changes of the future.
We value Respect, Optimism, Creativity and Kindness. Showing respect means you act in a way that shows you care about yourself and the feelings and wellbeing of others. When we are optimistic we expect the best and we maintain a positive outlook. We are creative when we produce something using our talents and imagination. We show kindness when we behave in a friendly, generous and considerate way, showing empathy towards others and ourselves.
At Roslyn Primary School we aim high, reaching for the stars, in every aspect of school life. Our motto is `Roslyn Rockets, Rocketing to Success, which reflects our aim for us, staff, students and families - to be aspirational in all that we do.
Our students are provided with opportunities to develop personal qualities and attitudes that will teach them how to build positive relationships and face the challenges of the future with confidence, compassion and respect. They learn how to be decisions makers, problem solvers and strong communicators. All students learn how to be leaders and how to work in a team. Students are inspired to be self-motivated learners - working from individualised learning goals in reading, writing, maths and inquiry so that learning can target their needs.
Our Teaching and Learning program reflects the belief that 'thinking' is the foundation of all learning and within a rapidly changing world students need to have greater thinking and problem-solving abilities, to be more self-motivated than ever before. We teach students a variety of cognitive thinking processes and strategies that will help equip them with the skills to navigate through an information rich future.
Our Curriculum is based on `The Victorian Curriculum¿ using an Inquiry Learning approach, with a strong focus on learning through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths). The use of an Inquiry approach to learning, with a focus on STEAM, helps us provide personalised and authentic learning and promote the ability to learn and understand within a global context, and it enables learning experiences to be broadened and deepened. Students actively make observations, collect, analyse, and synthesise information, and draw conclusions, developing useful problem-solving skills to adapt to future `need to know¿ situations. They develop habits of mind that can last a lifetime and guide learning and creative thinking.
Our school has a strong sense of community and understands that the school experience is not just for the students but the whole family. We value and encourage parents to be actively involved in a wide variety of forums. Families are our students, first teachers and when we work together we can reach for the stars!
