School Overview
Ross Park is an inclusive, friendly, and supportive school where every child is known, valued, and supported to thrive. Our school has been proudly educating children since 1961, offering over 60 years of quality education grounded in high expectations, high support, and a deep commitment to every learner’s success. We are a highly professional learning community that values collaboration, evidence-informed practice, and a relentless focus on student growth. Our teachers are reflective, dedicated, and deeply invested in every child’s progress. They engage in targeted professional learning, inquiry cycles, and cross-school collaboration to ensure classroom practice remains current, effective, and responsive to the needs of our learners. Ross Park has strong connections with our local community and a proudly diverse student population representing many cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Our preschool, Rona Glynn Preschool, is located just across the street and provides an important early learning pathway for our youngest students. Our focus on literacy and numeracy excellence is complemented by rich opportunities in the creative arts, physical education, and digital learning, giving every child a balanced and engaging education. We are recognised within our community for the outstanding opportunities we provide across these areas. The Ross Park Values — Be Strong, Be Fair, and Be Kind — guide everything we do. These values shape our relationships, our language, and our expectations for learning and behaviour. Students are acknowledged and celebrated when they demonstrate these values through their actions and words. Our buddy class system builds connection and care across year levels, helping older and younger students learn together in safe, supportive ways.

Our Focus for 2026
At Ross Park Primary School, our 2026 improvement priorities were shaped through a thorough analysis of school and system data, alongside meaningful consultation with our students, families, and staff.
We are focused on strengthening high-quality, research-informed literacy teaching across the school. By building teacher capacity and confidence and increasing consistency in practice, we aim to improve reading outcomes for all students.
We are also deepening our commitment to culturally responsive and educationally inclusive strategies. By embedding these approaches into everyday practice, we are creating the conditions for all students to feel valued, engaged, and supported to thrive in learning-focused environments.
