It is hard to believe that we are commencing the final weeks of term three. As was mentioned to all students in our regular campus assembly, an in an email letter home, we continue to reinforce the strong learning habits and routines that support our young people’s academic success and personal growth.
In terms of wearing our uniform with pride, from 1 September, students have the option of wearing either full winter uniform (until the end of term only) OR the full summer uniform. Students will not therefore, be required to wear ties from this date. Understandably, students will have grown since their summer dresses were last worn. Can you please ensure that, as per college policy, the school dress reaches the knee prior to being worn to school.
Blazers must be worn in Homeroom each morning and again when leaving school in the afternoon.
We have had yet another busy term with many activities – SIS Book in a Day, Proactive Policing Unit visit for Year 8s and 9s, Science Week, Literacy and Numeracy Week, Music night as well as some of our Rosebud students representing Padua in the SIS Athletics carnival and State Netball Competition to name a few.
All students are invited to wear their favourite team colours on Monday 15 September in return for a gold coin donation with the monies going to McAuley Community Services for Women. When we say team we mean AFL, Junior Footy, Soccer, Basketball, Rugby, Netball & Baseball. We remind students of our expectations in dress, with no open-toe shoes, and shoulders and mid riff to be covered. Please be aware that Friday 19 September is the last day of the school term, with classes concluding at the usual time of 3.00pm.
As we come towards the end of term, we would like to take a moment to give thanks for the dedication, energy and care shown by all our Rosebud teachers. Each day our staff support the learning of every student but also nurture the wellbeing of our young people. Without their support, our extracurricular activities would not be possible.
Furthermore, we thank all our families for your continued support.

Science Week
Padua College Rosebud students celebrated Science Week 2025 with a variety of exciting activities and competitions. From testing their knowledge in a fast-paced Science Trivia Kahoot, to getting creative with lab coat designing, and putting engineering skills to the test in paper plane building, students embraced the spirit of science in fun and engaging ways.
