Students enjoy learning in beautifully maintained grounds and outdoor play spaces that provide opportunities for active play, exploration and connection. Specialist programs in Visual Arts, Performing Arts, STEM and Physical Education complement our strong focus on literacy and numeracy, providing students with a rich and engaging curriculum.

At Roxburgh Park Primary School, collaboration is highly valued. Teachers work together in Professional Learning Teams (PLTs), using evidence-informed practices and collective expertise to improve outcomes for all students. Staff are supported by a positive and collegial culture where professional growth and continuous improvement are encouraged.
