Parent Involvement
The involvement of families at Rockingham Montessori School greatly benefits our community and is key to our success and development. Some of the ways in which parents contribute to a thriving school community:
- Community Spirit is the Montessori version of a Parents & Friends Association. Families are welcome to join the RMS
- Community Spirit Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1263242030369591/
- Learning about Montessori philosophy and practice through independent research or Montessori Morning Chats, held in the Primary School twice a term.
- Attending Parent Education Evenings held each term.
- Observing in the classroom (by appointment reception@rms.wa.edu.au)
- Sharing skills and hobbies, helping with pet rosters, or providing flowers for the classroom.
- Welcoming and orienting new families as the Parent Liaison.
To find out when events are being held, please check the School Calendar or the School Newsletter.
Early Years

Our Infant Toddler Program (Playgroup) is the ideal way for your family to experience the Montessori philosophy and practice, while providing toddlers with a gentle transition to the Children’s House.
Children’s House

Rockingham Montessori School has three Children’s House classrooms, named Dolphins, Penguins and Seahorse, reflecting our seaside location. Each is led by a dedicated and highly-trained Montessori teacher.
Primary Program

Rockingham Montessori School has three Lower-Primary classrooms: Jelly Fish, Starfish and Sea Lions, continuing our ocean theme. Teachers are Montessori-trained and work with the help of an education assistant.
Adolescent Program

In Montessori’s third plane of development, from twelve to eighteen years old, the adolescent has a ‘humanistic mind’ eager to understand humanity and the contribution they can make to society.
