Welcome to Mount Rogers Primary School
We acknowledge the Ngunnawal people, the traditional custodians of the land we learn and play on. We pay respect to past, present and future Elders and recognise their continuing connection to country, waterways and skies. We thank you for caring for the land and we share our friendship and kindness. We extend this acknowledgement to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are with us on our learning journey.
Welcome to Mount Rogers Primary School! We are located in the West Belconnen region of Canberra, in the suburb of Melba. Originally opened as Melba Primary in 1973, we were renamed Mount Rogers Primary School in 2008 following the amalgamation with Spence and Flynn Primary Schools in 1998 and 2007, respectively.
Our school is situated on a large piece of land with expansive grounds, catering for students from preschool to year 6. The priority enrolment area (PEA) covers the suburbs of Flynn, Melba, and Spence. Our school includes three preschools: two offsite in Flynn and Spence, and one adjacent to our primary school in Melba.
Our core values of Excellence, Honesty, Fairness, and Respect, guide our actions and decisions. These values are complemented by our Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL) school-wide RISE expectations: Respectful, Inclusive, Safe, and Engaged.
We hold high expectations for every student and are dedicated to inclusivity, ensuring each child receives the support they need to succeed. We strive to create a sense of belonging through positive, collaborative relationships with families and the broader community.
As a Professional Learning Community (PLC) school, our teachers work together with an inquiry mindset to identify student learning needs and take collective responsibility for planning differentiated learning.
We welcome parents and community members to get involved in various capacities, including through the School Board, P&C, and other volunteer opportunities.
We invite prospective families to contact us if you would like to learn more about our programs or enrolment process.
