Roden Public School has been an integral part of the Coxwell and Gerrard neighbourhood since 1907.  Over the years, it has undergone many structural changes to accommodate the growing needs of the student population and the school community.  Roden was completely rebuilt as an open concept school in 1969 - all teaching areas open into a shared space called a "common area".  Within the school, there is a large music room, an all purpose gymnasium and a fully functional library with a computer lab.
