Student Achievement

Student Safety
Concerns have been raised by the manager of the BP service station, across the road from the school, and from members of the community about student safety.
It’s been reported parents are dropping students off at the service station for them to cross the road by themselves. Last week, there was a near miss with a child narrowly being missed by a passing car.
Other parents are parking illegally at the service station and leaving the car to drop children at the school.
The safety of our students, and pedestrians, surrounding Rochedale State School, is of paramount importance please do the right thing and make sure your children are safe coming to school.
World Teachers’ Day Friday 28 October
On Friday, we celebrate World Teachers’ Day. This is an opportunity to recognise the work our amazing teachers do every day.
Across the year there are days to recognise different staff in the school environment. Rochedale State School’s celebration on Friday was to recognise all school staff for their work to make our school the best it can be for our students. Together they are providing an outstanding education for our students and setting them up for their future.
We would like to thank the P & C for kindly providing a lunch for our staff last Friday in recognition of the work they do to support your children and to promote staff wellbeing. Thank you to Natasha Floyd for organising the catering
