Sport has well and truly begun at Rosehill College and from the feedback that is coming in from our coaches, managers, supporters and oppositions, Rosehill teams are continuing to excel in their chosen sports.I have had numerous reports from our coaches, managers, supporters and oppositions commenting on the on and off field behaviour of our students. Our teams are being recognised as playing hard but fair, prepared to acknowledge good play from all including the opposition.It is so pleasing to get this feedback. I look forward to receiving more of it as the season continues. Keep up the good work.Good luck to all our teams who will be playing this coming week. I look forward to reading the reports your coaches and managers send me each week.

Rosehill College Senior Drama Students present

“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion.

People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love,

…for love comes more naturally to the human heart than it’s opposite.”
