It’s a great way to cool off, especially on a really hot day. Remember: Never leave children unsupervised near a pool. Supervision means constant visual contact, not the occasional glance. Even in a supervised public pool, never take your eyes off your child while they are swimming. If your child is under five, you should be within arm’s reach. Actively participating in your child’s play will help make things safe. If you leave the pool or water area, even for a moment, take your child with you. If you have a backyard pool, make sure your pool fence and gate are in good working order. Pool fences should have a self-closing and self-latching gate, and these should be regularly checked and maintained. Empty paddling pools when they are not in use. Empty baths, basins, sinks, buckets and troughs immediately after use.

Dear Parents & Carers of the Roxburgh Park Primary School Community,
School Photos We have some terrific photos of students framed and displayed in the school corridor near the front office. Parents are welcome to view.
Thank you to Tom Loach, the photographer who captured our children at their brilliant best.
Update on the back gate There will be a new housing estate developed near both the secondary and primary school sites soon. This has created inconvenience to students/families who have used this land to cross in the past. It is private land and will be developed. I have spoken to the Principal of Roxburgh College and we agree that the exisiting gate on the secondary site will be relocated to the fence between the primary and secondary schools to enable students to access.
Moving from primary school to secondary school
Moving from primary to secondary school is a big step. Find out what's involved in the transition process, and what you and your family need to know.
