Dear Rosny College Community,

What a year it’s been—2024 has certainly flown by!

As we wrap up the year, it's clear that it has been a year full of growth and achievement.

Recently, we welcomed nearly 560 Year 10 students for our Jump Start Days. These two fantastic days gave them students the chance to dive into the subjects they’ve chosen for 2025 and experience the buzz of college life. The energy around the college was amazing, and it was wonderful to see their curiosity and enthusiasm. Adding to the excitement, there’s already a lot of interest in next year’s musical, Newsies and students got a sneak peek into what it takes to put on a production at the Musical Workshop Day recently. We can’t wait to see it all come together in 2025—it’s going to be incredible!

This year, we’ve focused on making real progress in teaching and learning. We’re thrilled to share that we’ve hit many of our goals, with a projected 83% attainment rate for the Tasmania Certificate of Education (TCE) and TCEA among our departing Year 12 students. Our push to boost literacy across the board has also paid off, with a 12% increase in students passing Level 2 literacy-standard subjects and 94% of Year 12 students on track to achieve their literacy tick. These results highlight how vital foundational skills are, not just for success at college but beyond.

Supporting student well-being has remained a top priority, and it’s heartening to see our efforts reflected in the results of the Student Engagement Survey. We’ve either maintained or improved scores across all well-being domains, thanks to our staff’s dedication to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where students can thrive. Our shared values—Connection, Courage, Growth, Respect, and Responsibility—are at the heart of our college and have continued to shape our culture. These values are lived every day within our community and are evident in the way our students and staff work together to achieve the best outcomes for our learners. We look forward to continuing to build on these values in 2025.

This year the college has been a hub of energy and engagement, buzzing with a variety of extracurricular activities. From our enrichment programs that extend learning beyond the classroom to learning tutorials that provide support for our learners, we’ve offered countless opportunities for growth and success. Cultural celebrations have added vibrancy to our calendar, reflecting the rich diversity of our college. Special events have brought our community together, not only to connected but to share in learning, and to showcase the incredible learning and achievements of our students. Events such as the many Performing Arts productions, the Art Exhibition, Harmony Week the list goes on. These experiences all adding to what makes learning and “life” at Rosny so great.

2024 has also been a year filled with remarkable academic achievements, which we’ve proudly celebrated during our showcase assemblies. These events have highlighted the dedication, creativity, and success of our students across a range of disciplines, and we are eagerly anticipating our Achievers Award Ceremony early next year, where we will formally recognise the outstanding academic achievements of our learners.

We extend our gratitude to our School Association, Student Association, and the Rosny mob for their invaluable contributions and support throughout the year. Your dedication and efforts have been instrumental in fostering a strong sense of connection and unity within our college, enriching the experiences of our students, and strengthening the vibrant culture that defines Rosny College

To our students taking their next steps—whether that’s further study, work, or another path—we wish you all the very best. Through the support and guidance of our staff, know that you are well-prepared for what lies ahead—we can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll achieve.

As we say goodbye to 2024, we’re already looking forward to what’s ahead. For families joining us next year or continuing with us, there are some important dates and further information contained within this newsletter so be sure to check it out. Wishing you all a wonderful and safe holiday, and here’s looking forward to another year of growth and success in 2025
