Study abroad with Rosehill College
About Rosehill College
The college has 1800 students and 180 staff.
To ensure that all students feel part of the College and have an ongoing academic and pastoral support, we have a strong House system. This House system is supported by strong student support facilities with two full-time counsellors.
The school currently operates an enrolment scheme to ensure that we do not become overcrowded. The enrolment scheme and the prospectus together provide information about enrolment procedures. Buses are available within the school zone.
Fee-paying overseas students and exchange students are welcome although a strictly limited number of places are available.
Course Details
The college offers all students a comprehensive range of subjects from Year 9 to Year 13, leading to the national qualifications of National Certificates of Educational Achievement.
The academic year runs from early February to early December with 4 terms, each of about 10 weeks. There is a 2 week holiday at the end of each Terms 1, 2 and 3. The summer holiday is from early December to late January. Students are accepted at the beginning of terms 1, 2 or 3 but preference is given to students applying to start at the beginning of Term 1. However only senior students who commence their studies by the beginning of Term 2 can gain qualifications at the end of the year.
Students do not need to have an international English language qualification to apply to
Accommodation and Welfare
All international students must live in a school-approved homestay. Students are not permitted to live in flats/apartments. Regardless of age, they must live with a family where approved adults care for them. Parents of students who are not living in a school-arranged homestay are required to sign a form releasing the school from responsibility for their welfare outside school hours. All accommodation is regularly visited by the College Homestay Coordinator. All
