Applications for next year are invited for our school Gateway Programme if you are returning in 2016 as a Year 12 or 13 Student. If you are not familiar with the Gateway Programme it is a Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) funded programme designed to strengthen the pathways for senior students (Y12/13) with the transition from school into the workplace. The Programme Coordinator finds students work experience in a variety of careers in the community, with particular focus on students who are looking at transitioning into either a trade or directly into employment after leaving school. The programme delivers Gateway Students additional work related courses and training with NCEA credits to help them toward their chosen goals. In some situations work placements may lead on to either employment or apprenticeship opportunities. Gateway has limited places so if you would like to be considered, pick up an application from Mrs Dyer in the Gateway Office at the back of the School Library or click this shortcut to be taken to the form: Application From.
If any parents or families of Rosehill College have a business that would be a suitable workplace learning experience for a Rosehill Student please contact the Gateway Coordinator, Mrs Dyer on 295 0661 ext 847 or email [email protected]

PROCEDURES FOR UNWELL STUDENTS

• Advise their teacher and request a note to see the nurse
• Go to the nurse at the Health Centre• Our Registered Nurse will assess the
student• The Nurse will then contact you if the student needs
to go home.
We have systems in place to best manage this and the safety of students can be compromised if they text family instead of following our procedures.

Your support in this would be much appreciated.
