Good morning members of the Rose Bay Secondary College community,
On Wednesday 4 May, 2022 there will be industrial action taking place. As a result, minimal supervision only (no actual teaching of classes) will be available at Rose Bay Secondary College on that day. We will however, still be running the scheduled cross country carnival, for competitors only, at school that day. Further communication for competitors from Mr Flack will be forthcoming shortly. Students who attend on 4 May are advised to bring their own recess and lunch as the canteen may not be available.
Kind regards,
Melinda Bright
Principal

Good morning to all community members of Rose Bay Secondary College.

We welcome two new permanent staff members to RBSC this term, MS Sai Hemvititum in the TAS faculty and Mr Siva Pathmanathan in the Mathematics faculty. I can tell already that they both have a passion for teaching and great expertise in their subject areas.

As schools prepare for the start of Term 1, 2022, parents and carers of students aged 12 years and above are reminded to book their children’s Pfizer or Moderna vaccination as soon as possible. Bookings are available through the Vaccine Clinic Finder. 
NSW Health advice indicates that vaccinations offer excellent protection against COVID-19 in children. Even though COVID-19 in children is often milder than in adults, there’s strong evidence to support vaccinating children.
Vaccines give the immune system a helping hand to protect against serious illness and possible long-term effects from COVID-19. Vaccinations also help to protect friends, family and our school community by reducing the spread of the virus. 
Visit the NSW Government website for more information or talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about the COVID-19 vaccination for your child to help you make an informed decision.
All staff are also advised that booster vaccinations will be included in an updated Public Health Order as announced by the NSW Government on Friday 7 January 2022. Further

Have your say. A short survey for parents and carers is now open to help the Department strengthen consent education for students.
Students from across the state, both past and present, have this year called for improved consent education.
This was sparked by a petition by former Sydney student Chanel Contos, which led to thousands of young people sharing their stories of witnessing or experiencing, sexual harassment, abuse and violence amongst young people.
In response to the voices of young people, the heads of the three education sectors signed a Statement of Intent. In this Statement, the NSW Department of Education committed to a number of actions – including partnering with parents and carers to improve consent education.
There is now an opportunity for parents and carers to have their say by completing a short survey.
This anonymous survey is available in 10 languages other than English and will take less than 10 minutes to complete.
It is part of
