We welcome you to the Rockhampton North Special School community. I am proud to be the Principal of our fabulous school where we pride ourselves as a place where every member of our school community support each other in a positive way. Our wonderful, dedicated and passionate staff provide a wide range of opportunities to enhance learning to every student by developing their skills, interests and capabilities.
At Rockhampton North Special School we believe that a successful school is one where students are respected, they love coming to school and they have a voice. We see it as our responsibility to discover and develop the talents of our students, to broaden their interests and to enhance their interpersonal qualities. We develop their communication skills, embrace creativity, encourage teamwork and promote open-minded thinking so that our students are ready to make a positive contribution within the school and to their wider community.
Our aim is for students to develop positive relationships, embrace diversity, inspire a deep appreciation for the environment and to treat themselves and others with respect. Collaboratively, we develop the essential values that empower students to courageously embrace the challenges of today and the future, whilst building the resilience required to welcome and respond to these challenges.
Our journey is an exciting one and we hope you will partner with us to make Rockhampton North Special School a truly great school! I encourage you to become part of the daily life of our school, to hold us to our commitments and work with us to show care, courage and cooperation.
If at any time you wish to discuss any aspect of our school and all that it has to offer your child, please feel free to contact me for a chat, or to arrange an interview time.
