Rosny College

What Rosny College does

Rosny College is a public senior secondary college located on the foreshore of Kangaroo Bay in Rosny Park, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Founded in 1973 and operating under the Tasmanian Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP), the college serves students transitioning from Year 10 into Years 11 and 12 (plus pre-tertiary Year 13). It delivers a comprehensive curriculum anchored on Tasmanian Assessment, Standards and Certification (TASC) accredited academic courses across five levels (Preliminary through Level 4 pre-tertiary), with Level 3 and 4 courses contributing to Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking (ATAR) scores for university entrance. Alongside academics, the college offers 13 nationally recognized Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificate programs spanning construction pathways, community services, cookery, engineering, hospitality, outdoor recreation, retail cosmetics, sport and recreation, tourism, workplace skills, live production, and screen and media. The college supplements core academics with enrichment programs including a High Achievers Program, Outdoor Education, Performing Arts, Springboard, and Rosny Futures and Pathway Connections, as well as a School-Based Apprenticeships (ASBA) pathway enabling concurrent apprenticeship enrollment.

The college's technology platform is built on Canvas LMS (canvas.education.tas.gov.au) as the core system for course delivery, assignment submission, grade tracking, and parent/student communication, supplemented by the Schoolzine-powered SZapp mobile application for push notifications and content access, and a student email system for staff communication. The technology stack is non-AI, consisting of conventional educational tools. Marketing and recruitment channels include a website, term-based eNewsletters, Facebook (@RosnyCollege), Instagram (@rosnycollegetas), downloadable course guide PDFs for 2026 and 2027, transition events and open days, and the SZapp mobile app, with Google Translate integration supporting multilingual access for international families.

Rosny College's business model is government-funded under Tasmania's public education system: domestic students receive tuition free of charge, with minor ancillary revenue from a non-refundable $10 locker hire fee and facilitation of booklist purchases through partner Office National. VET programs may carry associated fees. The GTM motion is event-driven, centered on Year 10-to-11 transition events, open days, enrollment information sessions, guided campus visits, and a dedicated International Student Program pathway. Key partnerships include the University of Tasmania (UTAS) for university pathways, TASC as the assessment regulator, DECYP as the parent department, plus community partners including Office National, the Rotary Club of Bellerive, Clarence City Council, Tasvend, and Job Hubs Glenorchy. Andrew Woodham serves as Principal.
