"Mixed feelings about the school"

Roskear has been a good fit for my older child, but I'm more concerned about the nursery program, as they have a large intake and sometimes struggle to give each child the individual attention they need. However, the school has been supportive of my younger child's needs, so I'm staying positive!

"Excellent education and community!"

My child attended Roskear from Reception to Year 6, and we were delighted with the education and care they received. The school's Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) programs were particularly impressive, and the teachers were always available to discuss progress.
