All aboard the STEAM train

ROSNY College is an inspiring and empowering learning community on Hobart’s Eastern Shore. Led by passionate teachers who are experts in their field of study, the college provides a multitude of opportunit­ies and support for its students through an extensive range of high-quality learning experience­s.

This year, Rosny College is proud to be one of only a few senior secondary colleges to include STEAM in its diverse curriculum, offering extended learning opportunit­ies in science, technology, engineerin­g, art and maths.

At Rosny STEAM is a physical space and way of thinking that uses these learning areas as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue and critical thinking.

The learning through STEAM is not restricted to the classroom, but is where students are provided with stimulus, resources and mentors to explore their creativity, problem-solving and collaborat­ion skills to create products that have been born out of a question or idea.

The new program will develop 21st century skills in students with a focus on design and creative thinking, as well as problem-solving and inquiry.

Students of STEAM will be exposed to a range of innovative tools such as 3D design and printing, robotics, coding, 3D artwork and drone technology.

They will also be connected to the real world through business and industry partners and mentors from the University of Tasmania.

If you would like to join the Rosny community in 2018 to complete your senior secondary education it’s not too late. Contact the office for further informatio­n on 6244 9200 when the college reopens for the year on January 29.
