Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back to Rosetta Primary School for what promises to be an exciting year of learning! Our dedicated staff have been completing professional learning sessions along with diligently planning and preparing well before the start of the year to ensure deep learning for all of our students.

I have been delighted to see how quickly everyone has settled into their new classes and look forward to a year of growth and discovery together.

E Team

Welcome back to a new year of encouraging sustainability at Rosetta Primary.

This year our focus will be on being water wise and the students will be looking at ways to reduce and refine their usage.

Our Kipli garden plants are doing well and we will be attacking the weeds as soon as we have access.

If you haven't already seen our sunflowers in the front courtyard, take a look this week. The ETeam planted these from seeds gathered from last year's plants.

Meetings this year will be on Thursdays at lunchtime and all students are welcome.

Grade 3-4 Media

Dear Parents and Guardians

We would like to inform you that occasionally, the Grade 3-4 and Grade 4 classes may view PG-rated media (videos, shows, movies) to enhance the student’s learning experience and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.  Educational resources used to support knowledge and understanding, such as ClickView, do contain the occasional PG rated clip.

The selection of these media will be made with consideration for the age and maturity level of our students.

If you have any concerns or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Best regards

Mrs Spruce, Mrs Karas, Miss Payne and Mrs Brown
Grade 3-4 teachers
