Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to the new school year at Roselea Public School! We had a brilliant Thursday and Friday last week and today we got to welcome our new Kindergarten friends. It has been an incredibly smooth start to the school year with students going into classes on day 1. Our 2023 teaching team worked tirelessly to formulate these classes and I have been so impressed at the energy and effort as I walk around the school. 

I would like to extend an especially warm welcome to the new families starting at Roselea. I’m sure you will enjoy your time at Roselea and find our community warm, friendly and very supportive. 

Health Care

It is vitally important that we have accurate and up-to-date information regarding the health of your child. If your child has recently been to the doctors and may have a new condition, illness or even allergy please prioritise discussing this with our office so we can update our records. Thank you.

2024 Executive 

At the end of last term, Mrs Caroline Idstein was successfully appointed via merit selection to our vacant Assistant Principal position. Mrs Idstein has a wealth of experience and joins us from Stanmore PS. The executive team for 2024 is:

Assistant Principal (K-2) – Mrs Caroline Idstein 

Assistant Principal (Stage 2) - Mrs Erina Jones

Assistant Principal (Stage 3) - Mr Andrew Chong

Assistant Principal (Curriculum and Instruction) - Mrs Belinda Hall

Meet the Teacher

Meet the Teacher Evening will take place on Thursday, February 15th at the below times:

Kindergarten: 5.00-5.30pm

Year 1 and Year 2: 5.30-6.00pm

Year 3 and Year 4: 6.00-6.30pm

Year 5 and Year 6: 6.30-7.00pm

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet your child's teacher, see their classroom, and hear about the exciting plans for the year ahead. We encourage you to attend this important event and get to know the members of our school community.

Like last year, children are welcome to come on the evening. This will allow both parents/carers to attend the event if you like. Whilst you are in the meeting with your child's teacher, children will be able to watch a movie in the hall or play on the oval. We will have teachers supervising these 2 areas.

Attendance

It has been great to see so many students arriving at school just after 8.30am. We have had very few students arrive after 9am so thank you for your support and organisation at home. It has meant that all students are very settled when they move into their classrooms. Regular on time attendance is a key ingredient in ensuring academic success and making the most of the educational experiences available to your child. I look forward to seeing this trend continue throughout the year. 

Swimming Carnival

Our annual Swimming Carnival will take place on Monday, February 12th. This is always a fun and competitive event for our students, and we hope you will come along and show your support. All parents and carers are welcome to attend. 

Facebook page

We also invite you to visit and engage with our school's Facebook page, which is a great way to stay informed about what's happening at school, see photos and updates and connect with other families.

If you don’t give permission for your child to be included in our Facebook page, please fill in the form that will be sent home via enews.

Dates for newsletter

This term, our newsletter will be sent out on Monday:

• 5th February
• 19th February
• 4th March
• 18th March
• Tuesday 2nd April (not Monday due to public holiday)

Our newsletter has a range of different sections, I encourage you to read through the whole newsletter. Our spotlight on learning section gives you an insight into the classrooms and is a personal favourite each fortnight. 

We look forward to a successful and enjoyable year together. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
