PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME

Welcome to the Roxby Downs Area School website. Our website is loaded with information about our school and student programs and has links to guide you to the information you require.

Roxby Downs Area School offers a comprehensive and rigorous education for students from Reception to Year 12 in modern and purpose built facilities which are constantly maintained and improved. We have a dedicated Senior School and 3 fully equipped Computer Rooms. Our facilities are world class and include access to Stadiums, Swimming Pool and Auditorium. The school's flexible hall provided through the federally funded BER initiative is now fully used during school hours and available to community groups at reasonable rates out of hours. The consortium of schools led by this site have been successful in their application for a Trade Training Centre and the Desert Trade Training Centre will be developed this year with certificate programs beginning in 2013. Some pre-programs will be introduced in Semester 2 this year.

R.D.A.S. has an active and committed Staff and Student Voice well supported by Governing Council and Parents and Friends.

We welcome all students and families. Students are supported through a range of school leaders:

Senior Leaders and Coordinators in each cohort (R-6 and 7-12)

Senior Leader for Social Inclusion

Coordinators for R-2, 3-6,7-9,10-12 and Information and Communication Technology

School Counsellors for Primary and Secondary years

Multi-skilled School Support Officers, some of whom work with students identified with learning disabilities.

On this website you can read our policies and curriculum statements for each sector of the school community. We welcome your feedback through the dl.1817.info@schools.sa.edu.au address.
