Principal’s Report
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we move into Term 3, I want to thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to working alongside us in your child’s educational journey. This term is already brimming with exciting opportunities and achievements, as you’ll see from the many engaging stories featured throughout this newsletter.
This Friday, I am very honoured to be attending Parliament House with two of our students, Leo and Kai, who have progressed to the state final of the Public Speaking Contest. This is a remarkable achievement and a reflection of their dedication, courage, and talent. On behalf of our school community, I wish Leo and Kai the very best of luck. Regardless of the outcome, we are immensely proud of you both.
Working Together: A Shared Commitment
We know that when schools and families work together, students thrive. While our staff bring professional expertise, it is your insight, your values, and your aspirations for your children that help guide our collective work.
Our school community is strongest when we communicate openly and honestly—when we celebrate together and when we problem-solve together too. Your voice matters—not just when something needs fixing, but when you have an idea, a hope, or simply a question.
Community Catch-Ups: Let’s Talk
Beginning soon (Wednesday 27 August at 8:45am), I’ll be holding regular, informal catchups with families and community members throughout the year. These sessions will be relaxed and inclusive, providing space for you to share your thoughts about the direction of our school—what’s working, what could be improved, and what you’d like to see in the future.
These conversations are part of our commitment to listening and learning together. We’re calling this initiative “Valley Voices”—because the voice of our community helps shape the heart of our school.
I look forward to connecting with you soon.
Kind Regards,
Lauren Findlay

Building Gratitude Through the Resilience Project

At Roleystone Community College, we are proud to be implementing The Resilience Project as a wellbeing initiative. A key focus of the program is the practice of gratitude - encouraging students and staff to regularly reflect on the positive aspects of their lives. Whether it’s through gratitude journals, classroom conversations, or simple daily reflections, we’re helping our school community build emotional resilience and foster a more connected, appreciative environment. It’s a small habit with a big impact, and we’re already seeing the benefits in our classrooms and beyond.

Pre-Primary Re-enrolment Reminder

BYOD Check-up
It’s about halfway through the year and I thought to put out a little reminder and check-up for BYOD parents and students. We are seeing the great impact that BYODs can have on our students’ education and our teachers’ ability to use more effective resources in the classroom.
However, there are a few problems creeping in where students have maybe forgotten what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate use of their devices. So, I’ve compiled a little infographic to guide them back on the right path.
Please discuss the below points with your child so that they do not come unstuck.
Any questions please get in touch via the front office or email

Professor Maths Incursions
The Professor Maths Incursions were so much fun, and all our students loved the maths games, interactions and hands on learning. There was so much counting and calculating - Maths is fun!
Mrs Heavey’s Year One students in Room 2.5 also really enjoyed the variety of exciting maths activities at the Professor Maths Incursion. After each activity we got a reward of glasses, fluoro jacket and wig. We all worked well in our teams and supported each other to solve the tricky problems.

























Maths Pop-Up Challenge – The Very Hungry Caterpillar
During our Festival of Maths, a very hungry Caterpillar was seen busily munching its way through lots of yummy treats! To work out just what it was eating, we sent out some Maths explorers to count the food, chart what types of food and calculate the results.
This Maths Pop-Up challenge was a big hit with our Pre-Primary and Year 2/3 students, who loved getting out into the garden to investigate just what this hungry caterpillar was chomping into!














































Maths Pop-Up Challenge – Shape Garden
Another Maths pop-up challenge for our students was outside Block 5 and everyone had loads of fun identifying the different 2D and 3D shapes dotted around the area, with our clever mathematicians charting lots of statistics, discussing the different shapes and colour coding them all. They used a lot of mathematical language to tally up their findings, as they explored every inch of the garden!









Our thanks to AP Mrs Burke, and the Maths Committee who created such a wonderful week of fun filled Maths activities! Our students really enjoyed all the activities, and Mrs Burke’s enthusiasm about Maths!
Crazy Hair and Sock Free Dress Day
Thank you to the P&C for running this very colourful and much-loved event. Our Primary students all went to town and dressed to impress with some wild and wacky hairdos and some very outlandish socks!
Our Principal Lauren Findlay also loves a free dress day – and showed off her homage to ‘My Little Pony’!




















Secondary Rollerrama Rewards
Our Secondary students and teachers really enjoyed their Free Dress afternoon at the Kalamunda Rollerrama. The theme was 80’s and everyone really got into the spirit of it! Our students also had a great time roller-skating the afternoon away at the rink.
Our thanks to Kalamunda Rollerrama for hosting us and to AP’s Mr Burns and Mr Coetzer for organising the event. Well done to all the students, with Good Standing, who were able to attend.













Year 3’s Stellar Visit to Perth Observatory
Recently, our curious and enthusiastic Year 3 students embarked on an unforgettable excursion to the Perth Observatory—and what a day it was! With wide eyes and eager questions, the students delved into the wonders of space and astronomy.
One of the absolute highlights? Having the chance to move the historic 100-year-old telescope and open the Observatory’s dome roof. These rare hands-on experiences left the children absolutely thrilled, giving them a real taste of what it means to be an astronomer.
They were also amazed to see a real asteroid—one that once hurtled through space before finding a home right here on Earth. Seeing it up close was a powerful reminder of the incredible mysteries our solar system holds.
Teachers and Observatory staff alike were deeply impressed by the students’ excellent manners and respectful behaviour throughout the visit. They listened attentively, waited patiently for their turn, and treated the delicate instruments with care—setting a wonderful example for others.
But what truly shone was their curiosity. The students asked insightful questions, demonstrated just how much they already knew about space, and showed a genuine excitement for learning more. It was fantastic to witness their growing passion for science.
All in all, the excursion was a brilliant success, sparking imaginations and reminding us that even the smallest observers can reach for the stars.
Mrs Norman







RCC Choir at Dale Fest!
At the end of last term, we were incredibly proud of our wonderful choir students who took part in their very first major performance and excursion at Dale Fest. From the moment they stepped on stage, their enthusiasm, teamwork, and beautiful singing truly shone. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to share their hard work with a wider audience, and they represented our school with pride, respect, and joy.
Their dedication to rehearsals, positive attitude on the day, and the way they supported one another was inspiring to see. They not only impressed the crowd with their voices but also showed what it means to be part of a strong and supportive school community.
A big thank you to all the staff and families who helped prepare and support our choir on this exciting journey! We can’t wait for the next one.
We’re so excited for what we’ve got planned for Term 3—stay tuned for more singing, performing, and fun ahead!

TeeBall Clinics – Primary
RCC would like to thank the local Roleystone Diamond Sports for organising and holding some fabulous TeeBall clinics in Week 2 at the college. Our students in Years 1-6 really enjoyed the two days, especially as the sessions were able to be held outside on the oval in some magnificent sunshine. There could be some new TeeBall superstars in the making!
Room 2.5
The children from 2.5 had a great time at the TeeBall clinic. Here we are working on our throwing, catching, batting and teamwork. Thank you to the Tee-Ball club, Roleystone Diamond Sports, for coming along and providing such a fun experience.
Mrs Heavey

























Year 10 Lightning Carnival
The Year 10 Lightning Carnival on Tuesday of week 10 saw a large group of Year 9 and 10 students take part in Soccer, Basketball and Netball competitions at Ray Owen and Coker Park.
The Year 10 soccer carnival was a showcase of courage, camaraderie, and wonderful school spirit as our Year 9 girls (who comprised most of the team) and a couple of Year 10 representatives, took to the field with enthusiasm and determination. They represented our school with pride, and they battled through every match with grit and teamwork, never letting up despite facing some truly challenging opponents.
While a couple of soul-shattering results could have shaken their resolve, the girls held their heads high, showing resilience and unity that left spectators and staff very impressed. It was clear they were playing not just for points, but for each other and for RCC.
The Basketball and Netball teams came up against equally challenging competition. The Basketball boys were pitted against some tall and skilled opposition while the Netball girls battled the wet weather and some stiff opponents. Both the netball and basketball teams managed to get a couple of wins, showing determination and improving with every game. Our teams may not have taken home a trophy, but they all earned the respect of everyone on the day and made us all at RCC very proud.

Year 9/10 Students Explore Career Pathways at SkillsWest Expo
On Thursday of Week 1, our Year 9 and 10 students attended the SkillsWest Careers and Employment Expo at the Perth Convention Centre. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to explore a wide variety of career pathways, including TAFE courses, university options, apprenticeships, trades and more.
Students enjoyed speaking with industry professionals, collecting information, and discovering future opportunities they may not have previously considered (as well as collecting lots of freebies). It was a valuable and engaging day that helped inspire our students to start thinking about their post-school journeys.
Well done to all students for representing the school so well throughout the day!
Mr Poole





Number fun in Kindy 2!
After learning how to represent numbers One - Ten all last term we have now moved on to forming numbers One - Ten correctly!
I was beyond proud of the little Kindy’s in room 1.1! We have been using number rhymes to help us practice. For example, round and round we go that’s the way to make a zero!
Look at these numbers totally independent. Wow oh Wow!


Naidoc Week in Kindy 2
Here is some of the incredible pieces we have made to help recognize NAIDOC Week in our classroom!
We explored the use of Aboriginal symbols and how they mean different words.

Building a Bridge in Pre-Primary
As part of the Resilience Project the students in Room 2.3 worked in pairs to build a bridge that would support some plastic animals.
The lesson developed the skill of Empathy. We explored the importance of showing understanding and kindness towards our partners as we were learning something new.
We wanted to promote the understand that supporting, listening and encouraging are important skills in showing empathy to others.
The students had to:
- support, listen, understand and encourage a partner in attempting to solve a challenge
- problem solve with a partner to find new solutions to a challenge
- use positive statements to show empathy to a partner throughout a challenge
The students had some amazing and creative ideas and were heard to say phrases such as:
- ” Maybe we could…….”
- “What about if we ……..“
- “That didn’t work, let’s…….”
- “That’s a good idea “
The lesson encouraged Critical and Creative Thinking as the students started to inquire, analyse and reflect as they worked together to solve the problem.

Poets Abound at RCC!
Room 2.6
In Talk for Writing the students in Room 2.6 have been learning the poem 'The Dragons Inside of Me'. We have been practicing using adjectives to make our writing more interesting and wrote our own poems using adjectives to describe ourselves.
Here are some of our amazing poems:
Inside of me is a creative dragon who is good at painting.
Inside of me is a strong dragon that can lift heavy things.
Inside of me is a helpful dragon who helps me make my bed.
Inside of me is a smart dragon who is good at making volcanoes.
- Louis
Inside of me is a kind dragon who gives notes to her friends.
Inside of me is a funny dragon who makes me laugh.
Inside of me is a smart dragon who does my homework for me.
Inside of me is a helpful dragon who gives my books to me.
- Georgia
Inside of me is an imaginative dragon who always pretends while playing with their friends.
Inside of me is a loyal dragon who will play with their BFF.
Inside of me is a talented dragon who always has a go at everything.
Inside of me is a thoughtful dragon who cares for my friends.
- Zoe
Inside of me is an independent dragon who doesn't need help.
Inside of me is a talented dragon who is good at maths.
Inside of me is a brave dragon who doesn't get scared of the dark.
Inside of me is a funny dragon who tells funny jokes.
- Ethan
Ms Morton
Room 4.3
In the last two weeks we have been learning about poetry and responding to the poem ‘10 Things in an Explorers Backpack’. We have been writing similes and using descriptive language to describe our items.
Class Innovation of Poetry

Here are some of our poems:
10 Things to Pack in a Cocoon by Jordan
Wings as fragile and red as a cricket running around,
Antennas black like a writing pencil,
Arms long and skinny like ants lifting 50 pounds,
A body as furry as a hairy goat,
1000 species of butterflies flying around everywhere.
10 Things to Pack in a Cocoon by Liliana
Elegant, gorgeous wings like a beautiful wedding ring,
Long skinny antennas as sharp as a pencil,
A warm, soft fragile lovely green eyes like fairy floss,
Stinky legs as smelly and grouse as a disgusting skunk,
Weird tiny creepy top hat as rough as an abandoned tree trunk,
Skinny small eyes as golden as a ringing brass bell,
Body as furry as a hairy bear’s goose bumps,
Emerald see-through sunglasses like a shiny statue.
10 Things to have in a Cocoon by Zara
A warm cosy beautiful blanket,
A beautiful smile like everyone saying Happy Birthday!
Pretty beautiful clothes as the twinkling beautiful stars floating in the sky,
A chocolate factory melting down your mouth waiting for you to eat it,
Saying “Hello” to nature like having a birthday party and going to the shop to buy as many toys as you want.
10 Things to Pack in a Cocoon by Yasmin
A cocoon round and brown like a donut frying in the pan,
Orange pretty wings like a puppy eating its breakfast,
Long wavy antennas like lolly sugar in my mouth,
A black body like a shiny pencil,
Red fluttering legs like ruby jelly wobbling to and fro.
Ms Longyear
Insects invade Room 4.5!
This term students in Room 4.5 are learning all about the characteristics that make a living thing, living. To help them with this, an insect exploration station was created, including a real stick insect! Students were asked to write a persuasive text convincing their teacher of a name for the stick insect. After much consideration, the name Buttercup was chosen. Please welcome Buttercup to our school!
Ms Morton



Reading Buddies
Each Wednesday and Thursday, Mrs Fletcher’s Year 5/6 students visit Mrs Cogle’s Pre-Primary class as part of their Reading Buddies program.
The Year 5/6s have the opportunity to develop their leadership and communication skills, while also practising expression and voice projection to keep their younger buddies engaged in the story. The Pre-Primary students are building confidence, strengthening early literacy skills, and quickly forming trusting relationships with their big buddies.
For some Pre-Primary students, it’s a chance for them to come out of their shells in a calm, one-on-one setting. For the Year 5/6s, it’s a meaningful way to contribute to our school community.
Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs. Cogle and Mrs Rowland














Healthy Snack Stalls in Room 5.3

We have launched a small business project called ‘Healthy Snack Stalls’ this term. Students have been divided into four groups, each competing to generate the highest profit by selling homemade snacks at school. We are excited at the possibility of picking out and purchasing some new outdoor play equipment for our Early Childhood students with the profits!
In the first week of term, English and Health curriculum outcomes were a focus as we started reading books about young entrepreneurs and our first meetings got underway. Managers were appointed and groups negotiated which role each student would play in the company - from Treasurer to Customer Service Rep, to Brand Ambassador! We learnt about the healthy food crisis in Australia, with only 55% of people eating a balanced diet. We explored why this might be the case and how school canteens help by offering ‘green’ and ‘amber’ food options. RCC Canteen Manager Vanessa shared how she cleverly hides fruit and vegetables in menu items, and we began researching some healthy recipe ideas of our own.
In the second week, each company finalised their branding - designing a company name, slogan and logo in theme colours. We taste-tested a range of different recipes and carried out some market research - surveying staff, students and parents across the school to narrow down our choices to a signature recipe or two. Then we researched ingredient prices and calculated a fair selling price. Through cooking, data collection and budgeting, we put a variety of Maths and HASS skills into action.
This week, we’ve been diving into Technologies and The Arts as we create promotional material, including posters to display around the school, signage for our stalls and catchy jingles, which will be played over the PA system in the coming weeks! We’re also designing our stall layouts, drawing inspiration from the wonderful community members who visited to share how they set up their own market stalls. We’ve been discussing how we might plate and serve our food too, thanks to tips from a young apprentice chef who visited on Monday!
We are excited to serve you a range of new healthy snacks in the coming weeks!
Mrs. Fletcher





























Let’s Dance!
This term we are focusing on moving in time and dance, continuing to build our performing, listening and creative skills in Music. In addition to the physical benefits, movement enhances learning in Music.
Some dances we are learning - which you may already know! - include:
- Step In, Step Out – a line dance for students in Years 1-2
- Kings and Queens – a line dance for students in Years 1-3
- Heel and Toe Polka – a circle dance for students in Years 3-4
- Passeio - a Chilean line dance for students in Years 4-6
We are also continuing to build our skills playing instruments, including percussion and chime-bars, recorder and ukulele. Students in Year 1 and 2 are starting to play simple high-low melodies, such as ‘Seasaw’ and ‘Starlight Starbright’, on our chime-bars. Students in Years 3 and 4 are making great progress on recorder in class, with many mastering the notes ‘E’ and ‘G’, and will soon be moving onto playing simple tunes, such as ‘Frog in the Meadow’. Many Year 5 and 6 students can now play and change smoothly between ‘C’ and ‘F’ chords on the ukulele while singing well-known pop songs (e.g., ‘Best Day of My Life’).
To play more complex chord progressions, we will soon be learning to strum new chords, such as ‘A-minor’ and ‘G’.
Year 5’s and 6’s concentrating hard on strumming ‘C-chord’!




Thank you for supporting our Music program at RCC, and please get in touch if you have any questions or need to share information about your child’s learning needs relevant to Music.

Drama News!

Pre-Primary and Year 1
This term in Drama, our Pre-Primary and Year 1 students have been diving into the exciting world of superheroes and villains! They’ve been busy developing their own original characters, building on their understanding of character creation and development. The students have come up with some amazing and creative ideas, showing great imagination and enthusiasm. Next week, they’ll be bringing their characters to life by designing and making masks—a project they’re very excited about!
Year 2
Year 2 students began by recapping key skills from last term, revisiting concepts such as character traits, voice, and movement. We’re now focusing on character backstories and motivation—exploring what drives a character’s actions and how this influences their performance. Students are learning to think more deeply about why their characters behave the way they do, helping them create more believable and engaging performances.
Year 3
Our Year 3 students are delving into the fascinating world of theatre and performance spaces. We’ve been exploring different types of theatres, learning about theatre etiquette, and discussing how to manage stage fright. Throughout the term, students will be discovering the many roles and rooms that make up a working theatre, from backstage crew to lighting operators, and dressing rooms to green rooms. It’s been a great opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of what happens behind the scenes in a performance!
Year 4
This term in Drama, our Year 4 students are applying their knowledge of narrative structure to take their storytelling to the next level. They’ve been working on developing more complex characters, building on past learning to create detailed personalities with rich backstories and motivations. Through improvisation and scene creation, students are learning how strong character development can enhance a performance and make their stories more engaging and believable.
Year 5
Year 5 students have been working collaboratively to compare different texts, with a focus on understanding the features and purpose of a playscript. Through group work and performance activities, they’ve been exploring how playscripts are structured and how they guide actors, directors, and stage crew. Over the next few weeks, students will be comparing playscripts and film scripts, discovering how each format shapes storytelling in different ways.
Year 6
Our Year 6 students have been honing their skills in ensemble work and performance synchronisation. With a strong focus on character complexity, they’ve been learning how to create believable, layered characters while also working effectively as a team. Through group performances and collaborative activities, students are developing their ability to listen, respond, and move in unison, helping to create polished, engaging scenes that showcase both individual creativity and collective effort.

Hollywood Comes to Roleystone
Prop Master Iain Appleyard Inspires Year 10 RADM Students
Roleystone Community College was thrilled to welcome visiting film professional Iain Appleyard, who brought a touch of Hollywood magic to our Year 10 RADM (RADM - Roleystone Academy of Digital Media) students. With years of experience in the film industry, Iain guided students through the fascinating world of prop making, offering hands-on insight into the creative processes behind some of cinema’s most iconic items.
During the workshop, students had the unique opportunity to recreate props from the beloved adventure film ‘The Goonies’. Under Iain’s expert instruction, they crafted a weathered treasure map and an aged coin, both central to the film’s storyline. These props weren’t just replicas—they were made using professional techniques that involved aging paper, layering textures, and adding realistic wear and tear to mimic the look of timeworn artifacts.
The session was more than just a craft activity—it was a deep dive into the artistry and storytelling that props bring to film. Students learned how every detail, from the texture of a map to the patina on a coin, contributes to the authenticity of a scene and helps transport audiences into the story’s world.
Iain’s visit was a fantastic opportunity for students to connect classroom learning with real-world industry practices. His passion and expertise left a lasting impression, sparking creativity and perhaps even inspiring future careers in film production.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Iain for sharing his time and talent with our students. The props created during the workshop will be proudly displayed in the RADM studio and mantle places of student homes as a reminder of this exciting experience.
