School History
Our school was the first Primary School in Rowville, opening in 1973 with some 250 students. At that time it was a small school nestled amongst 23 acres of native flora and fauna. The site is now shared with the Western Campus of the large Rowville Secondary College. Our School has a modern Gymnasium and Canteen Complex plus Specialist areas for Library, Art, Music and L.O.T.E.
The school still retains some of the native bushland, and great care is taken to preserve the relaxed rustic nature of the site. This complements the peaceful, friendly environment remarked upon by so many visitors, and also enjoyed by our positive, happy student population.
Our facilities have expanded as the population of students has grown and now also include a large number of air-conditioned portable classrooms, strategically interlinked with the main school complex including a large number of networked computers. We also have computers in every classroom all linked to the Internet and our school network. Information technology development for students and staff is seen as a vital priority to equip all participants for the future.
In 2006 our new permanent buildings were opened that include computer areas and modern classrooms.
2007 saw the opening of our new school playground and the introduction of SMARTboard computers into 5 classrooms throughout different areas of the school. Rowville Primary School continues to develop its buildings and grounds to further enhance the learning environment for the community.
