Wrapping Up a Wonderful Year with Roselea PS P&C!
As we move towards the end of the year, it’s a perfect time to pause and reflect. Whether this season feels like a chance to unwind and relax or a moment for renewed energy, it’s always a special time of year for our P&C community.
Our P&C has had an incredibly productive and rewarding year, working alongside our amazing families, students, and staff to make Roselea an even better place to learn and grow. From organising exciting events like the Trivia Night, Stalls, Easter Raffle, Discos and Colour Fun Run, to making upgrades around the school like our Nature's Nook, coordinating community engagement initiatives like our welcome BBQ at Meet the Teacher Night and World Teachers' Day initiatives, providing ongoing support for our classrooms through funding technology improvements for every student at Roselea, offering programs like band and after school dance and running our Canteen and Uniform Shop — it’s been a year full of teamwork, generosity, and positive impact. Something for all members to be really PROUD of!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has volunteered, donated, attended events, or supported our efforts in any way. Every contribution, big or small, helps us drive meaningful change for our students.
So, thank you for helping us finish the year strong as we look forward to another fantastic year ahead!

Being part of the P&C is a wonderful way to support our school, strengthen community connections, and contribute to initiatives that directly benefit Roselea students.

Safety & Style: New Basketball/Netball Pole Pads Installed
A big thank you to Sarah K for proposing the new basketball pole pads for our new COLA area. We’re pleased to share that this initiative was voted on and approved by our P&C in the August 2025 meeting, and the pads have now been installed thanks to Mr. Broome, the school's GA— giving our COLA a wonderful fresh and cohesive look!
Initiatives funded by the P&C like this helps make our school safer, brighter, and even more welcoming for our students.

It’s been a big week behind the scenes for our P&C!

These prizes were delivered last week on Friday, ready to bring lots of smiles!
