Open Day
It was wonderful to welcome so many new families to our Open Day last Sunday. Our Prefects and Vice Captains, together with some of our teachers, did a fantastic job showcasing our wonderful grounds, facilities and programs. We can sometimes take for granted what we have at Rostrevor and it is when we hear people speak so highly about what we have to offer that we realise how fortunate we are.

Families had the opportunity to see the College in action visiting classrooms, observing Physical Education classes, watching presentations and music performances and much, much more. After the tour, families returned to the Valley to speak with staff and enjoy afternoon tea while being entertained by members of our very talented Music Department.
Thanks to our Parents' & Friends' Association for organising afternoon tea and to the many others who played a role in planning and coordinating the event.

MiniRoos Fun Day at Rostrevor Sunday 31 March
On the morning of Open Day, just over 530 young soccer players hit the soccer pitches at Rostrevor College. Players from four local clubs Campbelltown City, North Eastern MetroStars, Modbury Jets and Adelaide Blue Eagles came together for our inaugural MiniRoos Fun Day.
The family-friendly event offered junior players aged from six to eleven, many of whom attend Rostrevor, the opportunity to get on the pitch before their season officially commences.

Throughout the day 52 teams played across 12 pitches. An eager group of Year 11 and 12 students assisted with the event by refereeing matches, setting up pitches, cooking the barbecue and guiding the 500+ spectators with directions and general enquiries.
We would like to extend our gratitude to our local clubs for their participation and thank the Rostrevor Old Collegians Soccer Club, the College Pedal Prix Group, members of the Parents' & Friends' Association for their assistance and Mondo Coffee for catering. Thanks also goes to the other members of our community who generously supported this wonderful community event, and special mention to the Event Manager, Mr Evan Pezos.

Student Reports & Parent-Student-Teacher Interviews
The last two weeks of term are always a busy time for teachers. Assessments are being finalised to determine student achievement for the term. Our teachers work with others including their Head of Faculty to confirm assessment standards through moderation activities and then prepare student reports.

We hope that you will make some time to discuss your son's progress regarding both his strengths and weaknesses. While it is important to acknowledge and celebrate your son's strengths, it is just as important, if not more, to not only identify the weaknesses but together to articulate specific areas for improvement.
