Learning Philosophy
Rostrevor is, first and foremost, a place of learning.
We encourage every student to apply themselves in everything they do. In every lesson, every activity, every day. To be challenged is to be a step closer to reaching one’s full potential. Every student should feel stretched in their thinking as they develop new strengths.
As their intellect develops, their emotional intelligence takes shape. It’s important for them to accept responsibility for their actions and make a commitment to their individual and academic success on a personal level.
We aim to create an environment for determined mindsets to thrive. Our expectations of our students are high, but so is our culture of support, because we know that together, as a community, we can help every boy achieve more.
A wide range of learning experiences
Our goal is to help each student to find and hone his strengths. To best achieve this, we believe in the importance of providing boys with a wide range of learning experiences and exposing them to different types of teachers and approaches to learning.
In the Senior Years, many develop a sense of their strengths and the careers that appeal to them, allowing them to shape their subject choice to best reflect their interests, talents and aspirations. Rostrevor's comprehensive and diverse subject offering is complemented by strong links to the university and VET sector, ensuring that every boy is guided and supported he embarks on his chosen career path.
Senior student academic support includes:
- Career counselling from University, VET and Senior College staff
- Time Management, Study Sense and Ace Your Exams support modules
- Leap and Headstart Programs for advanced learners
Specialist learning support
Research tells us that, in any group of young people, there will be a proportion of students who need additional, specialist support to help manage specific barriers to their learning. We use a vast array of research, programmes and strategies to support every boy achieve academic success.
Our Inclusive Education Team includes teachers and support staff who work in partnership with students, parents and teachers to develop and implement personalised learning plans. Additional support is provided to students within classes, sometimes in specialist activities and homework/study support.
