Our School Values
- Responsibility
- Pride
- Respect
- Perseverance
Our values drive our decisions at Rowville Primary School. Our school ethos which is underpinned by our four values creates a foundation in which we all strive for excellence. These values support the development of the whole child as a reflective learner and a good citizen.
We weave our core values into the fabric of school life. Our students use our values to make decisions and to make deliberate choices to focus on what is important to us as a school. Our values provide a mirror for decision making so that we shape students to thrive in the 21st Century.
It is through our common belief in our values that we create and enhance a positive culture amongst students, parents, and staff. Student achievement, engagement and wellbeing are our mission. We know each child by their name and believe that every face has a place in our school.
All members of the Rowville Primary School Community commit to living our values in our decision making and values.
School Culture
We build a positive school culture at Rowville Primary School where all members of our school feel valued and respected through our weekly assembly. Students, teachers and parents gather together to celebrate the learning that has occurred during the week.
Pro social behaviours are reaffirmed through our school oath at the beginning of our whole school assembly each week.
“I am proud to be Australian.
I enjoy the peace and freedom of my country.
I will obey the rules and laws of my country.
I will look after the world I live in by caring about the environment.
I will do my best to make this country great.”
Our sense of belonging to a school community is re-affirmed through the singing of the school song at the end of each assembly.
Our School Song
Rowville Primary School Song by Ron Pickett
In the foothills of the Dandenongs where the air is clean and free,
A lovely school lies nestled there, among the bush and tree.
Rowville is our name, friendship is our fame,
For the two-blue school is great, and a credit to our state.
We’ve sent our groups across the seas, to visit foreign lands,
Peace and hope and love to all, they’ve carried in their hands.
Rowville is our name, friendship is our fame,
For the two-blue school is great, and a credit to our state.
When we’re at school we play and work, to do our best each day,
To learn to grow, to grow to learn, in the true Australian way.
Rowville is our name, friendship is our fame,
For the two-blue school is great, and a credit to our state.
Rowville is our name, friendship is our fame,
For the two-blue school is great, and a credit to our state.
