Holiday break

The last newsletter for the term will be prepared by our Prefects so I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and restful break and we look forward to what will be a busy Term 4. I remind all parents and students that school will conclude at the usual time of 3.15pm on Friday 28 September 2018. Reports will be available on the Portal from 4.00pm on this day. (READ MORE)

Write of Passage

This year the Write of Passage Program has continued its success with the support of Mr Callisto and Mrs Gehren and of course Allity Aged Care, Walkerville.

This afternoon we were joined by residents of Allity Aged Care for a tour of the campus with their Year 10 partners. You could tell by the expressions on their faces that they were excited to be at Rostrevor chauffeured and guided by very some very proud Rostrevor men.  (READ MORE)

Delicious Diversity

The Social Justice Group hosted yet another very successful Delicious Diversity lunch on Wednesday. This event enables us to recognise our diverse cultures which adds so much richness to the community and allows students to experience some of the cultural delicacies.

On Friday 14 September 2018, we had the opportunity as a College to commemorate and celebrate the Winter Co-Curricular Season for 2018. This annual ceremony provides recognition for those students deemed as having given an outstanding contribution to their sporting team as either a player or leader.  Whilst this occasion was incredibly gratifying for the award recipients, I congratulated the involvement of every student throughout the Winter Season.  All students are to be commended in an equally important manner.

Rostrevor College has a notoriously rich and historical sporting culture laden with success, the continuation of which is only made possible by the students who consistently participate in their respective teams. Every student should be immensely proud of their efforts to sacrifice their personal time to engage with the Co-Curricular Program and I'm confident they would have received an abundance of positive outcomes through their association.

Furthermore, it would be remiss of me to ignore the significant impact that all Coaches, Team Managers, Supporters and Volunteers provide in both the team and individual success celebrated on Friday. It's very difficult to put into words the level of appreciation from myself and everyone who supports and encourages sporting programs at Rostrevor College. If there are any friends, parents/caregivers or old-scholars who have a passion for sport and feel they could contribute to maintaining the high standards evident, then please communicate these with me.

Finally, I would like to congratulate the Coaches, Managers, Senior Sporting Captains, Prefects and Musicians who spoke and performed at the assembly. Their ability to capture the attention of the audience and effectively engage listeners was tremendous and certainly added to the atmosphere within Purton Hall. The quality of speeches was remarkable, as were the musical performances on the day. It was yet another noteworthy reminder of the vast variety of talent present within the boundaries of Rostrevor College.
