Rostrata Primary School

During Wellbeing Week, Years 2 to 6 students are invited to come dressed in their favourite pyjamas on Tuesday, 16th June for our Winter Warmer PJ Day❄️ If you haven't already and can, please bring a NEW donation for our Winter Warmer Drive C.A.R.E project (Adult male sizes needed most).

Thank you to everyone who has donated new adult items to our Winter Warmer Drive, another of our Rostrata C.A.R.E projects. 🧤🧣🧦🎒

Here are the donations from today's winter Warmer PJ day in PP and Year 1 - thank you all for your generous donations!

We are still taking donations until 16th June.

During this National Reconciliation Week, our classes will be thinking about how we might continue to strengthen respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, histories and people in line with the 2026 theme of 'All In'.

Today on NATIONAL SORRY DAY, members of our Student Representative Council planted a Native Hibiscus, the plant adopted by the National Stolen Generations Alliance, to symbolise the resilience, survival, and compassion of the Stolen Generations 💜

Students will also propagate cuttings from our Native Hibiscus, that once established, will be gifted to neighbouring schools to further share our learning and healing.

Every year on 26th May, National Sorry Day remembers and acknowledges the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, which we now know as ‘The Stolen Generations’.

Today, in the lead-up to National Reconciliation Week, we were very pleased to have Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company perform an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture theatre performance called Djinda Kaatijin 🌙✨🌟⭐️💫

In Noongar language, the word Djinda means ‘star’ and the word Kaatijin means ‘to learn’, therefore, Djinda Kaatijin means to ‘learn about stars’. Djinda Kaatijin is a celestial journey through Dreaming stories from around the world.

During Volunteer Week and on P&C WA Day, we want to take the opportunity to thank all of our Rostrata Community members that volunteer their time to partner with us in so many ways at Rostrata. To our P&C and Board members, class rep parents, Ed Connect Volunteers, STEAM Festival parent presenters, garden busy bee, kitchen and canteen helpers and so many more...

THANK YOU! 💛💙
