This year promises to be full of learning and social opportunities, and we’re dedicated to supporting your child’s growth and success in every way possible.

Start your Child’s Reading Journey Strong in 2025

One of the great strengths of our Robertson community is the proactive involvement of parents in supporting their children’s learning. The Education Queensland’s Literacy Hub has developed a range of excellent resources to assist you in nurturing reading and literacy skills at home. The hub offers links to stories that families can enjoy reading aloud together. Additionally, it provides a Reading Awareness Checklist, which can help you assess your child’s progress in developing reading skills. Over the term, we will share the Literacy Hub’s resources so you can start the year with some wonderful strategies that can support your little ones reading journey at school
