It is the latest blow for students in a community still rebuilding after last year's catastrophic floods.
Detectives believe unknown offenders forced their way into a storage shed on school grounds, Edwards Street, sometime in the last fortnight.
They stole $21,000 worth of Fluid brand bikes and helmets, the officers from the Campaspe Crime Investigation Unit said.
All were donated by a Victorian charity after floods devastated Rochester in 2022.
The school has only had the bikes and helmets since April.
