RosettaPrimary School is a Coeducation primary school, serving years K-6. The uniform is compulsory and enforced. Rosetta Primary School is located in TAS, South region. Rosetta Primary School is 1 of 87 government schools in the Rosetta area.

And of course, our extension of High Schools to Year 12 has transformed education in our State for the better. Last year around 1,100 young Tasmanians undertook Years 11 and 12 who otherwise might not have done.

Our new School Building Blitz will see a further 15 public schools upgraded, from Havenview and Burnie primary schools in the North West to South George Town Primary to Risdon Vale Primary, and many more in between.

An additional $45 million will be provided to construct a brand-new, purpose-built North West support school on a new site in Devonport and deliver significant upgrades at the North West Support School in Burnie, on top of the $17.15 million already committed by the Tasmanian Liberal Government.

We will provide Square Pegs with partial base funding of $800,000 over four years to support students with dyslexia. Square Pegs has provided support to families, children and young people with dyslexia and related learning differences, for more than a decade.

We will also increase our support for Young Leaders of Tasmania by committing $310,000 per year for the next five years to extend their program to help young Tasmanians of all abilities to reach their full potential."

Of the high schools, 26 are district (or district high) schools, where in rural areas the primary and high schools are located on a single campus. There are also 6 support (or special) schools, 4 early learning centres, 1 infant school and distance education.

There are many non-government schools and colleges in Tasmania. Non-government schools generally have a religious affiliation, although the strength varies between schools. There are 70 registered non-government schools in Tasmania.

Rosetta is a residential suburb about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) northwest of Glenorchy, located in local government area (LGA) of City of Glenorchy. In the 2021 census, Rosetta had a population of 2,833.[1] This suburb is part of the Hobart LGA Region, nestled between Berriedale and Montrose and roughly a 15-minute drive from Hobart. Rosetta features a primary school and a high school and is bordered by the Brooker Highway along the east, adjacent to the Derwent River.

Historically, the surrounding hills and shoreline of Rosetta was settled by free farmers, establishing an assortment of orchards growing apples, plums, peaches, and apricots. Originally the suburb was part of Montrose. Katoomba Crescent, originally Evacuee Road, was renamed in 1958. Rosetta was gazetted as a locality in 1961.[2]

The land which became Marys Hope Farm was initially granted to Frederick Bck, a free Prussian immigrant in the 1840s.[3] "Mary" in Mary's Hope most likely refers to Frederick's wife, Marie Henriette Christiana Buck (ne Grallert), whose name was anglicised to Mary on her children's birth records. Mary died at aged 30, just 10 days after giving birth to her seventh child. The pre-1850s sandstone farmhouse stood atop the hill, overlooking Berriedale and the current MONA site was destroyed in the 1967 bushfires. Today, the main road leading toward the former homestead is called Marys Hope Road.

Commencing July 1948, the Hobart Savings Bank constructed 38 brick residences near Riverway Road, Montrose. The housing scheme was catered toward young couples, ex-servicemen and women. The housing designs emphasised diversity and quality, gaining popularity with well-tended gardens and enthusiastic homeowners. By June 1951, the bank moved its housing project to a new subdivision on Marys Hope Road, Rosetta, featuring 26 meticulously designed homes by A. Lauriston Crisp. Like the Riverway Road development, these homes were carefully planned for optimal sunlight and scenic views.[4][5][6][7]

The Risdon Zinc Works (trading as Nyrstar Hobart) at nearby Lutana, which has been in operation since 1917, continues to produce heavy metal contaminants affecting the air, land and estuary waters surrounding Greater Hobart.[8]

Badminton Tasmania is the State Sporting Organisation (SSO) able to deliver programs to schools in the South, North, and North West, on behalf of the National Sporting Organisation (NSO) Badminton Australia.

We aim to deliver engaging programs for primary schools, and those in year 7 and 8, to get them excited about being active. Participating in new and different sports gives them more opportunities to increase their physical and mental wellbeing, as well as being able to create connections in their local community to give a sense of purpose and place.

We hope to add you to our ever-growing list of satisfied schools, contact us today to discuss your options; we are also happy to help with writing and submitting applications, organising bookings, and ordering equipment too.
