The House System:
Every student is placed in one of six school Houses on his/her arrival at the College. Each House has thirteen tutor classes organised "vertically", with about 25 students from Years 9, 10 ,11, 12, 13 & 14 in the same group each year.

The tutor groups operate in the concept of 'family' units for students and as such are a vital element of our school community. The tutor group teacher has care of the same group each year with an annual cycle of Year 9s arriving from partner schools and seniors leaving for higher education and employment. The tutor group teacher develops a comprehensive understanding of their students both as people and as students. Academic coaching takes place in tutor groups.

The same principle is applied to the House. Once placed in a House, a student generally stays in that same House for his/her entire time at the College. In this way the Head of House also is likely to develop a sound knowledge of each student.

It is this "schools within a school" approach which we believe provides students with a sense of identity and pride, and at the same time enables staff to carefully monitor academic and personal progress. Apart from this very important function, the House System also provides the opportunity for some competitive, good natured inter-house sporting and recreational activities.
           

Badges:

The aim of the badges is to recognise outstanding achievement by students of Rosehill college, across the full spectrum of activities within the school - Academic, Sporting, Cultural and Citizenship. The badges come in two "levels" - House Badges for excellent performance and School Badges for exceptional performance. Criteria has been set for each badge and can be accessed by clicking on the image of the badge and following the link, application forms that need to be returned to the student's Head of House can also be downloaded from this link.

Badges will be presented at the start of the year at Principal's Assembly or the relevant Awards night - Sporting or Cultural - later in the year. Some sports awards may be presented mid-year at the end of the relevant competition period.
