Context

Rosebud Secondary College is located towards the southern end of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.  The area has a steadily growing population within a unique seaside environment.  Most employment is in the fields of retail; trades, hospitality, and tourism while a growing variety of agricultural pursuits add diversity to the many natural attractions of the region.

Within this setting, Rosebud Secondary College is a large secondary college with an enrolment of approximately 920 students across Years 7 to 12. 

The College has maintained a proud tradition over an extended period of time for providing outstanding educational and co-curricular opportunities for its students which has ensured strong social cohesion, high levels of academic progress and success for the broad range of students enrolled in the College.  Student success in the VCE is high and approximately 75% of Year 12 students continue to tertiary studies. The college has high expectations for student achievement in all areas of study including VCE, VET and VCAL. All streams are available to students through the senior years.

Because of its size, the College has a significant physical, financial, and human resource base.  These resources are used to support and promote the widest possible range of educational, sporting, creative and cultural activities that add value to learning and assist in individualizing education for each student. Approximately 30% of families qualify for CSEF. Although there is considerable economic diversity within the community, the overwhelming majority of students are of English speaking backgrounds.

The College is keen to include in its staff people who can contribute to the design and implementation of innovative structures and programs that will help to build upon the College’s strengths and to enhance its capacity to meet the learning needs of all students. Currently there is a significant focus on our teachers knowing their students as learners and understanding their individual learning barriers and enhancers. A high quality and consistent approach to curriculum development and implementation is a requirement of all staff at Rosebud.

Rosebud Secondary College believes building healthy and positive students is a key to their academic outcomes.  In 2022 the College is embarking on a $10 Million upgrade and opened of our Wellness Pavilion.

We have a comprehensive student tracking system with a clear internal referral process. We have some exciting initiatives in place including the development of the Wellness Pavilion, MindMatters implementation, B.A.S.E (Be Active, Sleep and Eat) and mindfulness meditation, and the Doctors in School program.
