Our curriculum focuses on the academic, social, and emotional growth of each boy and provides an opportunity to foster self-assurance, responsibility, resilience, knowledge, skills, and capabilities that are relevant to the world of today and tomorrow.
Our contemporary teaching and learning approaches are centered around the Australian Curriculum and Crossways (Religious Education).
At Rostrevor College, we are committed to implementing evidence-based methods and approaches in all teaching and learning areas. Using a range of practices that research has demonstrated to have the greatest impact on student learning, teachers use quality evidence to establish where students are at in their leaning, decide on appropriate teaching strategies and interventions and monitor each boys progress.

Starting school is an exciting milestone for a child and his family. The transition from early learning settings to primary school can be both wonderful and challenging for students and parents. A successful transition from early learning to school is important and has long lasting benefits. Children who experience a positive transition into their new environment are more likely to be happy at school and continue to improve their social and academic skills.
Our program
Little Rossi Learners: Ready for Rostrevor! is offered to children in the term prior to them commencing Reception at Rostrevor College.
Transition programs and techniques have a positive impact on the academic achievement of students. For boys, it is recommended they participate in six or more school transition activities as opposed to a single event or isolated visits.
While not compulsory, it is a valuable opportunity for children to form connections with friends, teachers and the physical school space before commencing formal schooling.
