Our Vision Statement

“We are a deeply connected learning community that fosters academic curiosity, inclusivity and perseverance in the individual child and encourages their development to become a responsible and
honourable person”.

To be an elementary school that develops a high level of personal and educational achievement as a foundation for future academic goals; that promotes a strong sense of self-worth embedded in a cooperative school culture which, by respecting others, leads to an acceptance of difference, honesty and equity in both thought and action. ROCS students will prove to be effective stewards of their school, community and environment.
