We offer specialist programs in Science, Physical Education, Music and Art. Students are also learning AUSLAN (sign language) deepening their understanding of deaf culture.

The school's moral purpose is 'Inspiring and nurturing life long learners' which is embedded in practices across the school. We are committed to development of the whole child inclusive of achievement across academic, social, emotional and physical domains. Our staff build strong relationships with families and the community which are key attributes in making these achievements successful.

Rockingham Lakes has embedded approaches on values and pastoral care, highlighted through the school's response to wellbeing model and BE PROUD program. Students and families at the school have access to a range of support provided by our school Chaplain with strong community links. The school has a partnership with Anglicare and offers counselling support to students in need, on school site. Students are explicitly taught self regulation skills through the Zones of Regulation Program, supporting them to develop awareness of feelings while exploring a variety of tools and strategies for regulation, prosocial skills, self-care, and overall wellness. Students in year 2-6 also engage in the Weaving Wellbeing Program to support being able to identify and use their authentic character strengths, boost positive emotions, develop and nurture positive relationships and connections, build practical resilience skills and develop self-efficacy through empowering beliefs.

There is a strong focus on whole school programs and practices and our highly professional staff have a strong commitment to collaboration across the school.

Staff deliver high quality, evidence based, Literacy and numeracy programs and practices ensuring a high quality of teaching and learning for all students.

Rockingham Lakes Primary has a strong Visible Learning focus, meaning teachers regularly evaluate their own performance, seek feedback, challenge students and provide them with clear learning intentions for each concept being taught so children are aware of what they are learning and why.

We offer intervention for students who require additional support and Gifted and Talented extension classes for students in year 3 to 6 to ensure that gifted students have their talents nurtured.
The schools grounds are well maintained with purpose build early childhood classrooms and play areas, basketball courts, large oval, enclosed undercover area, canteen, Library and large teaching blocks and classrooms.
