Holy Rosary School,
Derby is a Catholic Primary School, which caters for approximately
230 students from Kindergarten to Year 7.
The school has a small but active P. & F. and a dedicated School Board
who work co-operatively with the school and provide valuable support.
The school has a computer laboratory and well- resourced library. A
physical and personal development education called
Bluearth. This runs throughout the school providing skills and games
sessions for all the children. Children in Years 5 and 7 attend annual
class camps and all children have the opportunity to participate in a
variety of extra curricular activities.
Children in Kindergarten, Pre-primary and Year1 also enjoy playing in
the safety of their own fenced play area.
Children with special needs at either end of the spectrum are catered
for, so that each child is helped to achieve his/her potential. Support
teachers provide extra help in the area of literacy and Reading
Recovery.
A very important part of our teaching team at Holy Rosary are our
Aboriginal Teaching Assistants and our Aboriginal Trainee Teachers who
work in partnership with the classroom teachers to provide a well
rounded education.
The major emphasis in the school is to improve literacy and numeracy
standards and each class is required to plan a two-hour literacy and one
hour numeracy block each day.
