Our experience of having two sons at Rose Bay Secondary College has been really positive. Our eldest enjoyed the academic selective classes and got a lot of benefit from forming connections with a whole range of young people. Our youngest (currently in Year 10) is also doing well, and we have been pleased with the responsiveness and care the school has shown towards his academic success.
At the end of the day, the thing we’re most grateful for is that we have a happy child who gets up each day and wants to go to school – we’ve had such a positive experience with both sons and they’ve come out as wonderful young adults. What more could you want?
Our teachers and learning and wellbeing support teams work with our families. We co-design plans that help students learn in the way that works best for them.
Located in Dover Heights, our school is easy to access by public transport, walking or driving. This makes every day at school more convenient for our families.
