RPS Chatter September 2025

Hey RPS community,

We’re Alaia and Audrey, your school captains. Heading into September, there’s a lot of exciting things coming up from a student perspective! The wonderful Grade 6s are cooking up something special for Pizza Day, and we saw some super cool costumes at Book Day.

Our term has been flying by so quickly! Student-led conferences are coming up, and we can’t wait to show the parents all the amazing things we’ve been working on. Be inclusive, and don’t forget about our school motto: kind hearts and curious minds.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

Dance like no one’s watching, sing like no one’s listening, and live each day like it’s your last.
– Abbey R, 5/6D

Keep shining and enjoy the spring weather!

Your school captains,

Audrey and Alaia 🙂
