Rochedale South State School has been a school of choice in our local community since 1979. Positive attitudes towards learning and behaviour are fostered through our quality curriculum which emphasises Performing Arts, Science, ICTs and Sport along with Chinese to ensure that our children have well rounded skills and the confidence to achieve their personal best. Student progress in Reading, Writing and Mathematics is tracked from semester to semester and year to year, to maximise student learning in these vital areas. We want to ensure that every student achieves to their capacity as Reading, Writing and Mathematics are fundamental to their later learning in every subject area. We set high standards for dress, behaviour and work habits and explicitly teach children how to behave well through our Learning to Live Together Program which emphasises Care, Courtesy and Cooperation. Our beautiful, landscaped grounds provide a well maintained and attractive context for learning and play. Children enjoy access to multiple playgrounds and play areas. There is a special 'Prep only' area for our little ones to explore until they are ready to join the Prep to 3's play space. Staff members are caring and committed and with our supportive parent group, facilitate student progress in social, emotional and academic development to enable students to reach for the sky. We encourage parents to be active participants in their child's learning and regularly provide detail about what is being taught at school. We also run parent information sessions, so parents and carers can know about particular approaches to teaching, particularly in English, Mathematics and Science. We have a school camping program which operates across Years 5 to 7 along with Interschool sport, and a competition beating Instrumental Music and Choral program. Every year we run an Arts in Action Program which provides a school-wide focus over nearly a week on visual and performing arts, culminating in a gallery of student work and performances.
