Holy Rosary has a special needs centre which caters for children with a range of disabilities, run by our team of highly specialised and dedicated teachers and assistants.
All students are part of a mainstream class where they can learn with their friends, as well as spending time at the Siena Centre for individualised programs in Literacy and Mathematics.

Welcome to our school.
Holy Rosary School is part of Our Lady of the Rosary parish, situated on the leafy Doubleview hill.
We are a Catholic co-educational primary school offering classes from 3-year-old Kindy through to Year 6, with two classes in each year group. We also have before and after school care.
The school was opened in 1959 and the beautiful Toodyay stone church was built in 1973. Today, the school has excellent facilities and continues to enjoy strong parent and community support.
A play-based and inquiry-focused approach to learning is central to our school. When children are engaged and having fun, they will learn.
We believe in challenging and supporting our children. In the classroom, lessons begin as a whole group (explicit instruction), then students work in groups according to their level (differentiated learning).
Our professional teachers are of the highest calibre and embrace teaching practices that are well-researched and known to make a difference. They are supported by a fantastic team of education assistants.
At Holy Rosary, there is a strong focus on Literacy, Mathematics and problem-solving, plus we have specialist teachers in Science, Italian, Music and Physical Education. Our hands-on technology program teaches children the skills they will need in an ever-increasing digital world.
Education is inclusive at Holy Rosary. We also offer extra learning support (Reading Recovery, Levelled Literacy Intervention and Extending Mathematical Understanding), as well as enrichment programs.
We welcome both Catholic and non-Catholic families who share our values.
The spirit of Holy Rosary is founded on the Dominican tradition of truth, love and knowledge, with the school's motto 'Veritas' meaning 'Truth'.
The practical and hands-on program 'Making Jesus Real' brings the Catholic faith to life in our school by showing children ways to live it every day.
Students undertake the sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Communion and Confirmation through our parish.
Engaging teachers are at the very heart of our school. They embrace and nurture the creativity, open hearts and natural curiosity of young people - through exploration, imagination and investigation.
Our teachers know how important it is to connect with children, to involve them and understand their individual needs. When students are engaged at their level and having fun, they will learn.

Children need inspiring spaces where they can explore and imagine, potter and play. We have fun spaces, quiet spaces, run-around spaces and cool spaces.
Our campus has three nature playgrounds, a vibrant library and makerspace centre, contemporary classrooms, sports courts, a sporting oval and gymnasium. There is a place for everyone.
The beautiful Toodyay stone church - Our Lady of the Rosary - is another inspiring space at the heart of school life.
The way children learn has changed dramatically over the past few decades - so it makes sense that the places where they learn should change too.
Holy Rosary is a leading school in the introduction of contemporary classrooms, where furniture and spaces can be reconfigured within minutes to suit the learning intention.
Experts agree that today’s classrooms need to accommodate more immersive, hands-on activities and support the development of 21stcentury skills: critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity.
The evidence is clear for us that our learning spaces improve student engagement and support teachers in providing differentiated learning, where groups can work according to their level.
Our community welcomes, supports and befriends new families.
The parents of Holy Rosary are very connected to the school. On any given day, you will find parents helping in class, the canteen, arranging social events, fundraising, running sporting clubs, updating our Facebook, and enjoying the friendship and support one finds in an inclusive community.
We are also part of the broader Our Lady of the Rosary parish community.
Learning through play is our Kindy way, where children can explore, investigate, foster their imagination and forge new friendships. We understand that Kindergarten is the beginning of a new phase for families, so parent involvement is very much part of the transition and there are lots of opportunities to get involved in your child's class.
Our Kindy is a welcoming place with warm teachers, vibrant classrooms and an exciting nature playground. Early learning focuses on developing confident and involved young learners who feel connected.
Children start Kindergarten in the year they turn four years old before 30 June.
Pre-Kindy provides a gentle introduction to school and the opportunity to make friends before starting Kindergarten. Children can begin Pre-Kindy when they turn three years old. We invite you to attend a one-hour open morning session with your child.
We offer flexibility around days and times, to suit your child and family arrangements:
Our provider is accredited to accept children from three years of age, offering before and after school hours care, as well as vacation care.
Holy Rosary School believes in learning through play, which is why we offer a community playgroup. It is open to everyone – we warmly welcome you to pop in and take a look!
Children aged 0 to 3 years.
Mondays during term time 9.15 am to 11.15 am in the hall (entry to car park off Angelico Strret).
