Dismissal Procedures
At the end of each day students assemble for dismissal lines, according to the method of travel as indicated on their Student ID card - bus, walkers, or being picked up. Students requiring multiple travel methods must see the Dean or Assistant Deans of Pastoral Care. For one-off changes, students must have a note in their diary from their House Coordinator. As representatives of the College, student behaviour to and from Rosebank must always be exemplary.
On the rare occasion that a student needs to leave early, parents must register this early departure on the College App by 9am on the day stating the departure time, method of departure and reason. Students must sign out at the General Office at the designated time. Middle school students must be collected from the General Office. Students are not permitted to leave the College grounds once they have arrived, without permission from staff.

Student Diary (Click here to view)
Each student is issued a Student Diary at the start of Term 1, which must be brought to school daily and taken to each period. The diary is used to record important dates, reminders, homework tasks and upcoming assessments. Parents of Middle School students are to sign the diary at the end of each week. This will be monitored by the Home Room teacher. Only school related information may be entered in the diary. If a student needs to leave class for any reason, the supervising teacher will note this in the diary. The diary must be kept neat and tidy– no scribbling/graffiti or pages torn out. If the diary is defaced or lost, students must notify their House Coordinator and purchase a new diary through the Assistant Deans of Pastoral Care.
