College News – 7 February 2025

It was fantastic to see so many of you at the Foundation Parent Welcome Drinks on the Rostrevor House Front Lawns last night. With a live musician, canapes, drinks and a selection of Old Collegian wine, the evening was a great way for new and existing parents and caregivers to meet and catch up with one another and learn about the important work of the Rostrevor College Foundation.  

Thank you to all those who came along to celebrate the beginning of the 2025 school year!

A Latin term translated as ‘thirteen years’, Tredecim Annis students are recognised every year for their commitment to a Rostrevor education, having attended the College from Reception to Year 12.    

Nicholas Babic, Alecs Zorzi, Xavier Kelly, Massimo Cerracchio, Adam Hardwarewala and Rocco Calabria were presented with their Tredecim Annis badges at the Assembly on Friday last week with their parents in attendance. Congratulations to these boys and their families for their commitment to Rostrevor for the past 13 years. 

The Reception classroom was a hive of energy on Wednesday last week with Rostrevor’s youngest learners embarking on their first official day of their 13-year schooling journey. They arrived eager and excited after having already become familiar with the spaces and faces of Rostrevor during their Little Rossi Learner sessions at the end of 2024. 

All parents and caregivers of Middle and Senior Years students are invited to attend the Information Evening on Monday next week (10 February) from 6.00pm to 7.30pm.  

The aim of the evening is to provide you with the opportunity to become acquainted with your son's Pastoral Care teacher and Head of House and receive information about school matters relevant to your son’s year level. For more information about the event, please see the Middle & Senior Years Parent Information Evening letter. 

The College’s Development Office take photos across all areas of school life which are published in the College News and on our social media platforms. If you would like an original copy of a photo of your child/children that has been published by the College, you can request one from the Development team at development@rostrevor.sa.edu.au. 

Junior Years students have been taking advantage of the warm weather over the past week, learning the basics of swimming and water safety in the College pool with instructors from the Royal Life Saving Society SA. The boys eagerly look forward to showcasing their new skills at the Junior Years Swimming Carnival in Week 5!
