Lent & Ash Wednesday 

On Ash Wednesday, I had the great pleasure of joining a gathering of Reception and Year 1 students with Head Prefect Darcy McKenny and Deputy Head Prefect Cameron Tunno to mark the beginning of Lent. The young students were wonderfully attentive as they learnt about the significance of Ash Wednesday and how small actions by each of us can help make the world a better place.

Older students in their PC groups reflected on the devastation in Ukraine and flood-affected eastern Australia. As Pope Francis encourages us "not to look away", the College is encouraging small donations to international aid and development agency Caritas via collection boxes in classrooms during Lent.

World Environment Day

Rostrevor College was quick off the mark for tomorrow's World Environment Day, undertaking a whole-of-College litter removal from the far reaches of the grounds. Well done to Webb House for driving this initiative and making our great campus even more beautiful. See more photos of the clean-up here

Norwood / Rostrevor SANFL talent  

Developing camaraderie and cohesion on and off the field should be no problem at Norwood this season with 12 of its senior squad members hailing from Rostrevor College. The school has long been a breeding ground for emerging Redlegs thanks to some great local talent as well as a strong contingent of boarding students from the Eyre Peninsula – part of Norwood’s recruitment zone.

Rostrevor graduates spanning 13 years from 2008 to 2021 have bolstered the side, including a recent crop of Eyre Peninsula players who have found a home at Norwood following stints at Geelong.

Getting the band back together

With the easing of COVID restrictions, it was time for some of Rostrevor's finest musicians to polish up their instruments and get together for their first Senior Band rehearsal of 2022. We can't wait to hear them in action at the earliest opportunity.

Class of 1991 Reunion

It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces at the 30 year reunion for the class of 1991 held at the Bath Hotel on Saturday 26^th February. The afternoon was full of smiles and stories reminiscing of their time spent at Rostrevor College. A huge thank you also goes out to the organising committee, Anthony Dimarzo, Chris Cattrall, Troy Di Lorenzo an Steve Olech.
