I came to Rochedale in year 6 scared and nervous of what the next two years were going to be like. But after meeting so many nice, fun and caring people and having Mr Belous as my teacher for both years there was nothing to be afraid of. Rochedale State School is an amazing school and so are the people in it. I miss it so much xx |

Rochedale State School is an awesome school. I met so many nice and
caring people. I went to that school for almost 7 years. I came to Rochedale State School in 2003 and i came from South Africa. i met so many caring and funny people while i was at Rochedale. I also went to the after school care there too called Roshca and i had so many great people looking after me and my friends. THANK YOU ROCHEDALE YOU ARE THE BEST SCHOOL! |

Being at Rochedale state was and had to be the best years school so far. Being at
Rochedale it opened up so many doors for me and I really loved the school. I really enjoyed the friendships but the way our teachers treated us as well. I always wish now in high school that 2008 was still here. I miss
Rochedale so much. High School is lame except fr netball!!! lol xox |

Hey Rochedale state school, 2008 was a great year for me and i was only there for a year but it was the best year of my life. I had Mrs Levitt as a teacher and i have to say she has to be the best teacher you could ever had. I enjoyed meeting all the teachers at rss and i enjoyed the excursion to sea world. Now that I'm in Adelaide i have all the good memories to keep for ever. I met the three best friends any one could ever have, there are Claudia , Georgia and Lachlan but i cant exclude all the other wonderful friends i met at Rochedale State School. Thank you for such a wonderful year that i will never forget. I love you all

WOW! The school is looking awesome now looking from google maps! I have now only three weeks till I graduate from High School and I still remember the 2007 graduation. Had a walk through the new office you have on the old oval and I must say it's quite outstanding compared to the old one at the front of the school. What is the old office being used for now? I still remember the school swimming carnival at the end of each year, good old times. Since then, I've made it three times into the national championships and was half a second out from Olympic Trials but now, I've hanged the goggles up and enjoying the last few weeks I have left now in High School. It would be great to see what the school looks like now as an overall and I would love to just come back and enjoy what it's like to be in primary school again. Does the school still do the year 6 medieval day? I remember I was asked to get married to the kings daughter that day - most awkward moment I've experienced
. Does M
r Smith and Mr Burton still work there.
Yes Jaiden, Mr Smith
and Mr Burton are still with us!!

Hi Carmel - Our School
Captains now wear that uniform on special occasions and on parade etc.
Looks great doesn't it?
Hey Guys! (and girls if you're picky). I'm loving Redeemer but still missing Rochedale. I still hear stories of when they called the school captain after me Carmel on the first assembly. It's cute. I see the pics of all the kids there now and remember how they used to be snotty little kids. Far out, I'm 15 and I'm making myself sound old. But it's true. What's with the jackets? have you changed the uniform? Missing you heaps. Carmel

wow, all i have to say was andrew the peacock was amazing. I hope he is doing well. so much stuff has changed once i last visited this remarkable primary school. i hope all the teachers are going well. and that the rochedale fetes are bigger than ever. One step at a time, the school will keep growing into the hearts of their pupils. We are currently at redeemer now and it is not the same as my primary school memories. Hope ya'll doing good, hope ya'll have a good time now. TTYL xoxo gg.

2004 |
I came to rochdale state at the beginning of
year seven and in that year i found that their was no bullying (very very
little) i also made really nice friends, the school is great, the only thing
i didn't like was that they are not into performing arts, there is no
interest in the kids that are talented in that field which is a shame, BUT
if you are academic or sporty then they will like you. Even though the
school doesn't like performing arts they are a great school and the teachers
are good and the kids are good too. |

Hey, firstly Rochedale SS
was awsome. I actually left in 1999 but would have graduated in 2002. I
have lots of friends from here, and most of you probably wouldn't
remember me. My best mate was Corey Goodwin. I wish I still kept in
contact with him. It just a shame we can't put emails on here. The
teachers I had were great and I liked doin french.
Hope to talk later, Steven
P.S. I now go to a school in Toowoomba, and im about to start year 12.

Well now that I've finished
primary school and now in high school I realise how much I took it for
granted. Anyone who is still in primary school and is reading this, take my
advice and make the most of it because it goes sooooo quickly! Any way, Year
7 was the best year of my primary school life (thanks to Mr Belous) although
I had fun in all my other classes as well. The year 7 Day Camp was great and
I'll never forget Year 7 Graduation night. Any one of my friends for
Rochedale State, please e-mail me 'cause I miss you all!! |

Hello everyone, can i just

and myself have been brought up in. Can I just say to all the teachers that
I miss you heaps. A special hi to the two principals, Mrs Francis thanx for
all the support, Mrs Levitt your support helped me get school captain, Mr
Belous thanx for all your
help I miss you heaps and to any other teachers that I forgot, I'm really
sorry. Thanx for all your help too. To the parents that are thinking about
sending their children to Rochedale, its a great school. Finally to my
friends that have taken different paths then mine I miss you heaps and
heaps. To the future students of Rochedale State I've got 5 words for yous "
enjoy it while
you can". I now that I did. To the future !
School Captains you'll love it.

Well, I certainly
enjoyed my time at Rochedale. Now that I go to Brisbane State High, things
are now completely different. I hope the students in Yr 7 now have a good
time, just like I did. Rochedale had a really friendly environment, and it
always will.
Good luck to all the teachers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Thanks Mr. Belous and Mrs. Levitt for being such great teachers and
teaching me soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Well, can I just say
good-luck to all the student this year. Rochedale would have to
be the best school, so, remember it always, I know I do. even if you don't
like the teachers (how could you not!) they are getting you ready for future
life. When I came to Mansfield High, after Rochedale, I notice that many
people know that Rochedale is a good school (because we're smart and just so
cute). HAVE FUN TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
HI MR BELOUS...

I went to the 75th Anniversay
on sunday to do a news report. It was then i realised how lucky I was to
come to the school and how much i really enjoyed being at the school. The
staff are all incredible and I love the
feeling there. it is a GREAT school and like Mr. Nielson (ex principal) said
on sunday "some schools people can't wait to get out of. Here you can't get
enough". I would gladly send my own children there. Loved my Primary school
days! |

quite embarrasing looking at the photos of us on this website - it's hard to
believe we were that young but it's such a nice trip
down memory name. Like everyone else, I can't say enough about how rewarding
my time at RSS was though I have to say typing
lessons sure helped in high school! :) Thanks for teaching me and, lastly, I
can still sing the French anthemn; it has never left me! |

hey all! u probs dont remember
me but itz Belinda Singleton (my friends call me belle). Itz actually quite
scary i remember in yr 8 i was saying, "I will neva make it to grade 12!"
and here i am 12 days to go i finsh on the 18th november and im counting
down! i must admit i do miss rochedalt because i miss all the friends i had
itz like im on the other end of the earth but im only up at salisbury and i
live in the same old place! There is some advice which i would like to give
to the juniors, enjoy primary school while u can cuz u guys get away wif a
whole lot, once u get to high school itz like a whole new world (but u do
get used to it obviously). some advice i would like to give to the year 7s,
enjoy ur last days of primary as i said b4 i feel like im in another part
of the world when really im only a few suburbs away. Also enjoy high school
while u can because even though itz a whole 5 years u have no idea on how
fast that goes aye, seriously itz flown. in a matter of about 12 days i will
be graduating after 12 years of schooling. So to all the people in rochedale
good luk and i miss u all TRUST ME! luv belinda singleton *belle* |

Good old Rochedale State School, what can I
say? It ruled, even though I had minimal friends, and everyone tried to beat
me up, I still enjoyed it. And anyone who is reading this who did try to
beat me up, try it now, I'm a tank, 100% pure muscle. Mr Sanderson and Mrs
Chippendale are the kewlest teachers ever! Both of you made me the student I
am today, still an idiot, but passing everything, and making everyone laugh
doing so. |

little class of 14!!!!! I'll never forget my days at ROCHEDALE!!!!!!!!!!!

forgot to turn it on silent!) I still remember the Hanrahan poem that we
rehearsed over and over!! It is really sad thinking about how much fun
primary school used to be, how passionate we were about sports days and
learning. I can't wait to see my kids grow up in the gold and blue! See you

Well what can I say? everyone else has said it all! Rochedale state
school is a fantastic school with great teachers,
(especially Mr Belous) fun activities for all year levels, and many different types of people so no one will feel left out. The camp in year 7 was great and
Mr Belous, Year 7 was the best year of my primary school life. The only thing bad about Rochedale is that it doesn't include a high as well! please anyone (like
Trinette Nagel) from Mr B's 1998 year 7 class who reads this, e mail me ok! I miss you all! |

at Rochedale State School and I am sure we will all remember the good times we shared! |

my best friend Alyce Bradford and some other students. The Rochedale internet site keeps me up to date with the school and its students. But I would like to
personally thank Rochedale State School for some of the best years of my life. Keep up the good work. |

and a great system of education. I have been in the Advanced class of every grade since primary school. I am now at Springwood SHS and cannot thank my primary

school, a safe and friendly school, a school that was always improving educational wise, and a school whose staff were always kind and always eager to a lend a hand
to further increase the level of teachings... Rochedale State School. Thanks to my grade 7 teacher, Mr Nick Belous. You prepared me so well for high school. Thank
you and well done to my grade 5 teacher, Mrs Glenda Crew. You have always been a favourite, and the knowledge and skills you have in order to create and sustain a
website such as this are extraordinary. It is always great to know, that Rochedale is one of, if not the most technologically advanced schools in your area. Hello
to all my friends from primary school. I am still in touch with many of you, and I hope you're all having fun, whatever school you are now attending. Thank you and
well done, Rochedale. |

you got a heated pool after I left!! Thanks for the great years I spent there. |

Hi, it's the horror student, Ruth, come back to haunt my favourite
primary school. I personally have never seen the new webpage and I think it's fantastic! I would really like to be able to contact some of my former teachers
through this page, please. (Mr Belous, Mrs Tracy,
Mr Leung, Mrs Spranklin, Mr Wills and Mrs Clarkson). If this is possible I'd really appreciate it. Rochedale, continue to always give your best. |

You may remember that name,
Schlencker if you were around in the early-mid '90's. I left in grade 6 to
move with my Mother and sister, Lauren, to Nambucca Heads. I'm now in Byron
Bay finishing year 12. My memories of grade 1-6 at Rochedale State
School aren't so clear, but I do remember that we were given great
opportunities creatively and academically. |

I have so many memories of
rochedale. from getting into trouble for writing Ruth a mean letter, to
districts of softball and the mad teachers! this register has brought back
memories. To be honest Ruth Hosking set them off. i remember when she dobbed
on me . i had to go to the principle. All because i organised all my friends
to write to her on how much we hated her. Sorry about that Ruth.
i will always remember how the teachers always motivated healthy lifestyles
by us running around the oval....many times! |

Hey! I'm sure Mr Belous and Mr Wills will remember me very well! Mr Belous, I am doing very well in Science and in my other subjects. I've entered a competition for a short story in English and I'm very confident I will be placed
in a good position! Mr Wills, I am going well in the sports area of my life, and I'm also the manager of the Yr8 and 9 Basketball Boys team! It' very
cool. I would appreciate it if both Mr Belous and Mr Wills replied please. Thank you |

I think Rochedale has been a great school for ages and it will always

students. have fun!!!!!..... |

So long ago, yet it seems just yesterday when I walked out the gates of
Rochedale State School for the last time. A great school, most of the teachers I had (Mr Belous, Mrs Crew, Mr Leung, Mr Finlay) have left, some are still there, and
whenever I travel past the school, many memories come back.
(Mrs Crew, Mr Belous, and Mr Finlay are still
there, Robert, Hi!!) |

Unfortuneately I left Rochedale when I was in year 5 (1992). I am now a
teacher myself at a school just outside of Beenleigh. I teach year 1. I
laugh when i think about what i would have been like in year one! I would
love to chat to anyone who i went to school with, or who taught me. Rumour
has it, there are many teachers still there. |

Hi,I have just spent 15 mins looking around your website and i think its great. When i went to school there we used to have to carry about 5 computers around to different classes for other students to use, and now you have your own website, how things change. It brought back many memories,i liked the picture of the old parade ground a place i stood and listened for 6 yrs. In grade 1 we stood under our building for parade and looked at all the big kids in front of us. Great memories thanks, Gary Cox |

Boy, it's a been a while now, but the memories remain. The school used
to seem massive, now so tiny. I don't think any of my teachers are still there (Mr Leung perhaps the last). This register is such a great concept. Perhaps we can
try for a reunion at some time! It would be exciting to see what all my fellow 1987 'graduands' have been up to. |

I really enjoyed my time at Rochedale SS and have many good memories. I was

remember many great teachers from Rochedale SS. What I remember the most
were the fantastic fetes! |

Thanks for this site. It would be nice to see some named pictures of teachers. For instance, is that Mr.Waldron in the 75th reunion album? I had him in grade 7. Other memories include playing cricket on the far side of the oval and being afraid of the plovers that would swoop us when we had to get the ball from the other side of the fence.

My years at RSS were definitely some of my favourite. A brilliant school
with fantastic teachers. I particularly remember Mrs Lorriane Kennedy,
Mrs Wriggley, Mr Young, and Mr Waldron. Such a great influence were all
of you, that I am currently training to be a primary teacher in
Edinburgh, Scotland. Love to hear from anyone I knew.

I recognised some names on the former students list including Debbie Aitken and Cassie Whatmore which brought back a few fond childhood memories. I enjoyed my time as a student and wonder what the school is like now. |

I started my schooling life at Rochedale
State School but left in grade 3 when my family moved to Melbourne. I
changed primary schools another 2 times and went to four different high
schools but I still believe the best school I ever attended was Rochedale.
I'm still living in Melbourne but plan to move back to Brisbane in the
coming years. I still remember Mrs Kopp telling me
that she didn't like Duran Duran (it was the 80's obviously!!) |

Rochedale State School rocks!! It gave me the necessary start to life
that I need

Many wonderful memories of my

Barry and Mrs Kerr. A dedicated group of people. They all must have had an
influence as I am now a primary teacher with 14 yrs experience. I am
currently at Agnes Water State School. State schools are great schools. A
great place to grow up. |

Very fond memories of my time
at Rochedale State School. I am still friends with people i met here. I used
to walk to school with my mates before we were allowed to ride. I remember
playing house under the big pine trees at lunch time and getting really
dirty feet because my mum made me wear sandles. A few times we were sent
home because the school had no water supply and it was the middle of summer.
The Fete's were great. My best
teacher was Mr Barry in grade 5, he used to play the guitar and sing for us,
he also played 'War of the Worlds' on cassette which was really interesting. |

I would like to send my son here one day, and share the happy memories. I
was shocked by how little the school has changed, and pleased that it
hasn't. |

Writing this in 2010.. and looking at the aerial photos of the school, it hasn't changed much. I can still remember sitting on the dots on the bitumen assembly area and having stand up to sing along with the school band (Mostly drums and recorders) to 'God Save The Queen' whilst the Australian flag was raised. How I wanted to be a flag raiser! I was very familiar with waiting outside the office to get the 'Cuts' from Mr. Murray the Principal. I can still taste the disinfectant fluid used on the recorders and remember the walk across the oval to the Film/Music Room - it was behind this building that most fights were staged and the nearby long jump pit was used for the Yo-Yo long distance jumping challenges. The Guy Fawkes fireworks nights were also awesome - although I was scared of the noise! I can remember the offical opening of the pool by Shane Gould and the freezing cold pre-swim shower and the smell of talcum powder in the bathing caps - no cap.. no swim. This school was fantastic and still seems to be. |

It's hard to believe it's been 12 years since we all played on the coppers
log fort and wood pyramid in the old adventure playground, got sap on our
blue shirts and faded grey shorts from the many pine trees around the
demountables. We watched large wasps "dance" through the air above our heads
as we were supposed to be watching the blackboard in those louvered
demountable classrooms (that we never moved). The stench in the air as the
fondly named "poo truck" made its regular visit emptying the septic tanks
between the then "new library and covered area" and the demountables/ pine
forest area) |

My time at Rochedale State School was the best years of my life. I meet so many people and remember a lot of them. I have two children that now attend Rochedale and it is really good to see how many faces you remember from when I was a pupil at the school. It is also good to see that there are a few teachers that are still at the school from when I was there, or come back to one of the best schools in the area. Keep up the good work Rochedale!!

How amazing was the school! Mr Murray and the fantastic teachers, what a buzz life was back then, which kids today could only dream of. No shoes and stubbies shorts! It would be great to hear from past friends. Who remembers the spooky fort in the distance of the
playground? Many stories we could all tell! mrsv@ aapt net au

Great to see photos of the school
and to read comments from some familiar names. I went to
Rochedale for 8 years, yes kept down in year one and have fond
memories of those years. My father still lives in the house i
grew up in, so it is always good to have a look at the school as
I drive past when we visit as I left Brisbane 20 years ago. It
was a great not to have to wear shoes to school something my own
kids can not believe use to happen. Glad to hear the school is
doing well.

what a trip to memory lane, had some great years there, playing houses under the pine trees , near the demantables had Mr brasha (grade 5 i think) poor guy to put up with me i was the one always sitting outside the classroom near the school bags, soaking up the sun while everyone was hard at work, i think he just gave up sending me to the office,remember the playground fenced off from the bush,right down in the corner far down in the bush there was a type of fort in a tree and the door use to open and close with the wind, we thought something awfull lived in there and use to scare everyone, hello to mr klupp another one of my teachers didn't give him a hard time he was always so nice and always chewing on peppermint lollies,, yes i too remember standing to attention to 'God Save the Queen' in the searing hot sun,the little shop across the road that use to sell The Muppet sticker books with chewing that we all use to swap,and see who had the most stickers, elastics was a great game so was chasing the boys at
lunch time.

I remember Rochedale State School fondly. I remember playing cubbies underneath the huge pine trees, handstands on the oval and elastics and knuckles. My fondest memories are of grade 6 and 7 with Mr Belous! We had a big double room and set up different areas of the room for different subjects. It was 'just like high school'. I now live in Melbourne but when I come to visit my parents, I drive past and wish I lived nearby so I could send my 9 year old son.

I recall having to go to the small brick building near the oval to watch
films projected onto the wall, no airconditioning but still very
exciting. I also remember playing with the pine needles on the ground at
the back of the school, and something that would never happen today was
being hit by the deputy mistress for running under the building in
morning tea time! How times have changed. I also remember the tyre
swings, they are gone now...I loved going to school at Rochedale.

GREAT SCHOOL, I REMEMBER MY TEACHER IN GRADE 7 - MR LACEY. He was the
best teacher in the whole school, well that's what I think of him, I can still remember walking to school everyday and sometimes even picking my mum a paw paw for
her. THANKS ROCHEDALE FOR THE MEMORIES! |

time for my two boys to start school. Keep up the good work Rochedale!!!! |

I have so many fond memories
of Rochedale. I spent a full seven years there, with my first teacher being
Miss Carmody and my last teachers being Mr Waldron and Mr Klupp - a big
double class of 72 children! I most fondly remember the big Camphorlaurel
trees at the front of the school and making Jacaranda 'flower sticks'. |

Paul Heath who was up on the board for the 100 sprint as I remember also my
younger sister Michelle Heath. I now live on the Sunshine Coast and attend
the university here...this has been fun I'll look in again soon...Kindest

How
nostalgic to visit this site! Swimming pool! Lucky students today - we
didn't have it when I was there from 73-75. I remember being herded across
the oval to the 'garden shed' to watch the Melbourne Cup on TV there. Can
remember great teachers Mr Waldron & Mr Klupp. Also remember l o n g
assemblies and singing national anthem whilst the flag was being raised.
Great school. |

Wow! Great to see so many
familiar names- Shona Mackenzie, Gary Epps!Teachers Mr Waldron and Mr
Dunning. I remember playing red rover on the oval, learning square
dancing on the tennis court and choir in the old activity room! I
remember Katy Wall (where are you?) teaching Shona and I how to crochet
bikinis. Sadly,my husband (Martin) returned to Rochedale in early March
08 for the funeral of our dearest friend Steve McDonough (Andrea nee
Crevola husband) who was killed tragically on his beloved Suzuki bike.

This is the only school that i wish my four children to go but didn't, i remember miss nelson my grade 1,2,3 teacher she used to always get me singing a song called 'brumby jack' in front of all the other kids in my class, I
don't know why ? but later in life i play my guitar and recording my own songs.
Rochedale state school to me, means a lot to me, the memories of friends and teachers that i
probably wont see again, but when i stand at the gates of r.s.s the memories... and tears start taking over thanks rochedale.. |

I only attended Rochedale SS for three months of Year 6 and then
for Year 7. With Mr Waldron as my Year 7 teacher I have memories of lots of sport and athletics and the Year 7 camp to Somerset Dam. I returned when my sister was in
Year 7 as a student teacher and joined them on camp. The family has moved away from Rochedale now but I still keep up to date with the happenings at the school with
my work with the Education Department. |

I remember Jim Dunning having a very loud voice. I had Mr Klupp for two
years and also had Mr Waldren. I am sure the old parade area was much bigger
when i was at school. My three children now attend this school. My father
also attended this school in the 1940's. Love to hear from
anyone my vintage!!!!! |

What a great site...certainly brought back fond memories of my
childhood. I attended Rochedale from 1965 to 1968, and thereafter was a foundation student of Macgregor State High School. My brother Brad, sister Robyn and myself
followed a tradition at Rochedale started by our recently deceased mother Lorna Mackay (nee Voigt) who attended Rochedale SS in the early 1930's. Our teachers
included Jim Dunning and Alan Waldron. I noticed some familiar names in the register (including Brad Waldron).. Please do not hesitate to email me if you remember
me or my family. |

My sisters Judy and Sue and brother Robert and I attended Rochedale State School during the 1950s and early sixties. We lived next door to the school. Our land is now part of the school. I was taught by Miss Harvey, Jim Dunning and Mr. Turpin among others. Mr Wood was my scholarship teacher. I've lived in Melbourne since 1980. |

Fond memories of Rochedale
State School. Recalled teachers - Miss Harvey, Mr Dunning and, I think, Mr
Woods was principal for some of that time. My .sister did some teaching
pract there. Went to Mt Gravatt High from there. Now living in South
Australia. Great to read so many wonderful things on site. |

It has been a long time since
I went to Rochedale State school. I used to live
on Lamorna Street and walk to school. Life was idealic then. One of my
greatest remembrances was the head master (sorry I cannot remember his name)
who was always cheerful and whenever anyone knocked on the door he would
bellow out "come on in, your as welcome as the flowers of may." He also
instilled in me the enjoyment of poetry and to this day I still remember "Oh
to be in England now that April's here...." Well it would be nice to know
what has happened to some of my old classmates. Believe it or not I still
have pictures of some of my class mates.... I now live in North
Carolina USA and have lived here for 24 years. But like the song goes "I
still call Australia home"

times. Just looking at old school photo and wish I could remember all the
names. |

Best school in the Universe!! I have
wonderful memories of my schooling at Rochedale S.S. from 1948 until 1956. I
was taught by the unforgettable Miss Harvey and, would you believe it - Jim
Dunning!! The school was small enough in those days to know everyone - and
their brothers and sisters. My niece and two nephews attended the school
also. I went on to Cavendish Road High and became a Home Science teacher. I
now live in Melbourne. I planted one of the trees in the plantation near the
back fence. I attended the school Jubilee in 1981. |
