In the first week next term, I will be visiting our contributing schools as we begin the enrolling process for students currently in Year 8 and wishing to attend Rosehill College next year in Year 9. See later in this newsletter for information about the enrolments process, timelines and places that may be available. Please check your student’s uniform during the holidays, as there have been a number of students wearing non-uniform long pants to school. School uniform trousers in navy blue are available from The Uniform Shoppe 28A Wood Street or online https://www.theuniformshoppe.co.nz/ Students should not be wearing other items such as trackpants or black jeans. Only students wearing formals may wear black trousers. Best wishes to everyone for the term break, and a reminder to our senior students that they should spend some time revising in the break and ensuring that they are up to date with their assignments.
