Roos Primary is a school built on a culture of respect for all, which is actively promoted through the school's Christian vision, ethos and values. Our Christian vision is for every member of our school family to 'shine' through a positive, nurturing environment underpinned by an enriched, inspiring curriculum that celebrates learning, fun and the wider achievements of all of our children and community. We promote excellence in everything we do and in the way we live, inspiring our children for life today, tomorrow and in the future, and guiding them in the true value of learning to "let your light shine!" (Matthew 5:16) We summarise this in the simple statement: "Together we Care, Learn and Shine."
