Rosyth Heritage Gallery

In 1955, two sites were surveyed to build a proposed girls' primary school. A site at Jansen Road had been considered but it was densely occupied by squatters at the time. The alternative site located on a plot of land between Rosyth Road and Phillips Avenue was preferred as it was only occupied by a single squatter. Approval of the plans was given, and so began the history of Rosyth Road School, as it was then named, at 29 Rosyth Road. It was subsequently confirmed that it would be a mixed primary school rather than a girls' school as originally planned. The school building was completed the following year. The official handing over of the building took place on 13 December 1956.

From its inception since 1957 a House system was adopted with pupils placed in four Houses named after colours – Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue. The House system was discontinued in the late 1970s and 1980s but re-instated in 1994 with four Houses – Cheetah, Jaguar, Panther, Puma, each with its own colour as in the past. The rationale of this system is to evoke a spirit of competition, engender the spirit of social responsibility and harness a strong sense of belonging.
