Philosophy, standards & the school year

Our Philosophy

Rockdale School is a multi-cultural, non-denominational school. Our credo is a solemn belief in the basic dignity of every human being — we do not discriminate against any ideology, religion or group, and we promote a culture of mutual respect that breeds co-operation and advancement.

Standards

Pupils come to school neatly dressed in clean uniform, white socks and black shoes, or P.E. uniform with white socks and white canvas shoes. Girls keep their hair neatly braided or plaited; hair extensions of any sort are not permitted.

The School Year

The school year runs in three terms from September to July. Holidays are given at Christmas and Easter, and all Federal holidays are observed. Parents receive notice of terminal holidays in advance.
