AddressRosehill Secondary College sits on a spacious, attractive site with views over the Maribyrnong River Valley and is part of the Moonee Valley Network of schools in the Southwest Region. As a 7-12 single campus, co-educational school we pride ourselves on providing outstanding educational opportunities for all students, delivered by passionate teachers through our comprehensive tailored curriculum. The college values of Respect, Initiative and Learning are underpinned by behaviours that are explicitly taught through the School Wide Positive Behaviours in Schools program. As a lead SWPBS school we are recognised for our exceptional work in this area.
Rosehill Secondary College is a school with a strong academic focus and a history of consistently high academic results. At Years 7 and 8, in addition to core English, Mathematics, Science and elective subjects, students undertake additional Literacy and Numeracy classes. A Selective Talent and Enrichment Program (STEP) is designed to cater for intellectually and academically capable students and this is further enhanced by our Advanced Mathematics (RAMP) and English Programs (REAP) at Years 7-9. The Year 10 level is structured as an introductory year to VCE, with many students embracing the opportunity to undertake advanced studies. Programs such as MYLNS and tutoring have also become embedded within our structure. Rosehill Secondary College has excellent VCE results and is committed to supporting a broad range of careers and further education pathways by also offering the VCE VM program and onsite VET.
Rosehill Secondary College is committed to child safety. Our calm and nurturing environment is reinforced by consistent and effective student management and teaching teams and is further supported by an outstanding and committed workforce consisting of a balance of highly experienced and graduate teachers, a visible Principal Class and committed Education Support Staff. Our inclusive college embraces both social and cultural diversity and we are committed to continuing to effectively implement the Respectful Relationships program.
Rosehill provides excellent facilities for our students with a designated Year 11 Study Centre, and a purpose-built Year 12 Study Centre. An EAL and international student collaboration space complements our International Student Program. As a multicultural community we understand the benefits of globalization and exposing local students to other perspectives and experiences. We enjoy bespoke science rooms, renovated visual arts spaces and a well-resourced library. A new STEM Centre was completed in 2020 and hosts our Virtual Reality experience. In 2021 the school oval was fully refurbished and together with basketball and tennis courts, weights room and a gymnasium, students have ample space and high-quality facilities at their disposal. Significant passive recreational areas are also available throughout the school grounds. The current capital works program has delivered a state-of-the-art Auditorium and learning facilities including a purpose-built fashion/design area; media room, ceramics room and Music complex. The refurbishment of A Wing is due to be completed by the end of 2024 further enhancing the teaching and learning environment of the college.
The College is in its second year of a new Strategic Plan and looks forward to continuing celebrating its strong successes in Literacy and Numeracy, whist further enhancing student outcomes by providing opportunities through the Diversity Inclusion Funding, access to the Mental Health Menu and its strong focus on student agency.
