special thanks to our leadership team who led the Remembrance Day Commemoration here at Rosanna Primary. The school stopped for a minute of silence to remember all those who have died and been scarred by the tragedy of war. Ms McIntosh joined our captains at Watsonia RSL to participate in a community Remembrance Day Ceremony. Congratulations to Benjamin for receiving a special RSL Citizenship Scholarship.

Poppies are available for sale until the end of the week.

Our assemblies have been interrupted by rain and the Curriculum Day over the last few weeks so Monday is a chance to celebrate the wonderful learners we have at Rosanna Primary in the last few weeks.  

A special thanks to all the students in 34S who bent their elbow and helped collect the latest and freshest produce from the Veggie gardens. Many after school parents snapped up a bargain and some fresh ingredients for their dinners at the stall students held after school. There were potatoes, lettuce as well as beans.  The money raised will go back into our garden and the sustainability group activities.

Mrs Margo Daws, a past parent of Rosanna Primary School, was instrumental in the organisation of Rosanna Primary’s 40th Anniversary in 1980. Lots of hard work went into collecting stories and photos. The Daws children, Susan (pictured), as well as Colin and Lyn, attend Rosanna Primary in the late 60s and early 70s however Mrs Daws’ association continued well after her children left for secondary school. This is a testament to the lifelong connection many people have formed with Rosanna Primary.
 


​Mrs Daws shares some of her memories of the 40th Anniversary celebrations in this podcast.

From the late ‘60s to the mid ‘80s Mrs. Naida Harris was a teacher at Rosanna PS and saw lots of changes in the school through her career. When Mrs. Harris first started there were 2 separate staffrooms – one for the male teachers and one for the female teachers.
 
As with Miss Wilson, Mrs. Harris recalls the large numbers of students in each class and the wonderful community feeling amongst the staff, students and parents. The Harris children also attended Rosanna Primary School during the 60s and 70s.
 
Both Mrs. Harris and Miss Wilson remain residents of our local Rosanna community.
 
We take this opportunity to thank all of our past teachers for the contribution they made to make Rosanna Primary School what it is today.
