The heart of The Rock Academy is to honour God through education. We teach our students that as followers of Christ it is our responsibility to live as “salt and light” in this world by reaching out and making a difference in the lives of others.
Our students from Grade 1 to 7 are encouraged to discover and develop their God given talents through a balanced programme in Academics, the Arts, Technology and Physical education.
In safe, small supportive groups, teachers and students work closely together building character, strong values, meaningful relationships and the confidence to go out into the world and make a significant difference.

A word from our principal
It is a privilege to teach in a school where we can live out our faith while nurturing and educating God’s most precious gifts—our children. In our small, supportive classes, teachers and students work closely together in a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.
Our success is rooted in our exceptional staff, committed to helping each child reach their full potential, and the unwavering support of our parents. We invite you to visit our school and experience this for yourself.
