From naming our newly updated STEM building to celebrating the power of buddy classes, our Year 6 journalists bring you the latest from around Rose Park Primary.
Our transportable building is missing a name!
We’re excited to share that our transportable building has had a make-over.
Did you know that: The wooden transportable classrooms on Grant Avenue were first erected in 1953, and have been demolished and rebuilt once since. Rose Park was a Demonstration School in the 1970s and a pioneer of team teaching in South Australia.
The building has been used as classrooms for many years, and now our Science and Technology specialist teachers have joined forces to lead STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) teaching and learning.
We asked some students, staff and parents the question: ‘What should the transportable be called?’

Why have buddy classes?
At Rose Park Primary School, buddy classes are a fun way of getting to know students from different classes and across early years and primary years students.
Our younger students like to get some help from the older students especially with reading, writing, drawing, solving problems and ICT.
We can make more friends with our new and younger students.
Students share what they know and can teach others.
We meet with our buddy classes to plan Harmony Day and Book Week activities.
