Live Gig at Norwood

The feedback from our families was that the gig at Norwood Live was a great success with exceptional performances by Rostrevor's Senior Band, Senior Vocal, Small Jazz, Senior Rock and Middle Rock. To see one of the jazz performances, view the video at the bottom of this page.

AFL Great returns to Rostrevor

It was great to welcome Old Scholar and AFL legend Luke Darcy ('92) back to the College this week. The Channel 7 commentator and former Western Bulldogs captain is supporting Rostrevor College via the LeadLearn initiative with founder Matt Wadewitz to enhance coaching performance and motivation. Melbourne-based Luke was thrilled to be back at the College, where he began in Year 3 and built many enduring friendships and memories, and enjoyed meeting First XVIII players (from left) Charles Kemp Tyson Walls, Jayden Gale and Beau Baldwin.

Mother's Day Liturgy - Junior Years

Thanks to all our Junior Year students who wrote and read beautiful messages to their mums as part of our Mother's Day Liturgy on Monday.

Thanks to our student leaders and Ms Lisa Clark for making it such an enjoyable event.

Happy 18th Birthday Tristan
