Rose Bay hosted an exciting round of the Eastside Debating Competition on Friday March 13 against Cranbrook.

Education Week to celebrate learning together
Education Week 2020 will be held from Monday 3 August to Friday 7 August.
Education Week is our annual week of celebration to highlight the achievements of our students and staff and the role of public schools as the cornerstone of their communities.
This year’s theme is ‘Learning together’ and it reflects the incredible months of 2020 where NSW public school students have continued to learn and achieve, despite natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our schools have experienced significant disruption but our staff – in partnership with parents and carers – have worked tirelessly to ensure that high quality teaching and learning has continued for all students.
Department of Education Secretary Mark Scott said the best learning takes place when there is a partnership of students, teachers, parents, carers and the community.

Schools to implement distancing measures
The NSW Department of Education is introducing proactive measures to limit the impact of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in our schools.
Mark Scott, Secretary of the Department of Education, today announced that schools would adopt social distancing measures requiring them to cancel assemblies, excursions, travel, some events and conferences.
Mr Scott said these measures are precautionary and designed to reduce exposure via non-essential gatherings.
“Schools have been a focus of the community and the government as the impacts of coronavirus have developed globally,” Mr Scott said.
“From Monday onwards, I expect school assemblies and substantial gatherings to be cancelled, along with all excursions.
“The community expects schools to be as safe as possible. We are implementing these measures to provide peace of mind for students, parents and staff.”
