Ross Park Primary School

Principal's Message

I joined Ross Park Primary School in 2017 as the Assistant Principal and then became Principal in 2018, after Karen Blanchfield retired after her 12 year principalship at the school. There is a wonderful buzz each morning as parents greet each other and farewell their child/ children. Classroom doors are open and teachers happily meet their students before the school bell has even rung.

The classrooms are well resourced and well managed. Leaders, educators and students work together to build an inclusive learning culture where there is a sense of personal and social responsibility, independence and cooperation. Mutual respect and resilience are also valued and underpin our clear and high expectations. Consistent school and classroom routines are imbedded across the different learning areas of the school.

Partnerships with families are key to the success of each child and central to this is effective communication. Ross Parks School Council and I have created 2021-2025 Communication Strategy which will guide our work in maintaining the excellence we are known for and drawing on the cultural diversity of our community to improve communication and educational programs.

The Principal
Mrs Suzi Burgess
