Hello to all families! I am excited to join Rochedale South as principal in 2026. I have been a school principal for many years and have recently had the role of school reviewer, working in schools across Queensland, during the last three years.

Welcome to returning students and families to the 2026 school year as well as the many new families joining our school this year. I would particularly like to mention those students who started Prep this year and therefore commenced their learning journey at Rochedale South State School.  We are very excited to have you as part of our learning family.

The partnership between families and school is extremely important, as parents are their child's first teachers. We look forward to working with you to enable your child to become the best version of themselves that they can be. Every moment of every day can be a learning experience, and I encourage all families to embrace this. 

Our school vision is “Creative Resilient Curious Learners Empowered to Excel “and we work collectively with you as parents or carers to support all students through this vision.

Underpinning this is the concept of student engagement. Learning must be fun, enjoyable and accessible for students. We believe in the educational development of the 'whole child'- behaviourally, emotionally and cognitively. Using the student engagement continuum- our students learn the actions and behaviours necessary to support their learning.

I am currently meeting staff, students and parents across the school and am looking forward to meeting as many members of this wonderful school community as possible. As principal, I plan to listen to staff, students and parents to learn about what is great about Rochedale South and then help maintain this. My role is to support the great work of teachers and other staff to continue helping all students to be the best learners they can be.


Yours in education, 

David Cramb

Principal
