Rocky River Public School is a small rural school situated 5km north of Uralla on the Thunderbolt’s Way, with a current student population of 35. The school works within a cluster of small schools known as "The Thunderbolts Alliance" for sporting, cultural, social and professional development activities. The local community is very supportive and all major school activities are well attended. The school provides comprehensive educational experiences to enhance the academic, cultural, physical and social development of students. A dedicated staff, excellent resources and a beautiful rural setting combines to develop in the students a love of learning which, together with strong basic academic skills, will carry them through their education and their lives in the 21st Century. The school is a member of the Armidale Community of Schools (ACOS) which supports principals, staff and students across the New England. We have a holistic view of education encouraging our students to be involved in not only academic and sporting activities but also actively promoting student leadership, values and contributing to the wider community. In the small school environment, students are encouraged to work independently and cooperatively to become self-motivated learners.
