Allocation of Places

The ROSA schools prioritise the allocation of places on the following basis:

schools with cohorts of students who would benefit most from attendance and would not ordinarily be able to access such opportunities, including disadvantaged students, Koorie students, vulnerable students, students at key transition points,
schools that have not previously attended (except for where there is an agreement in place for a school to attend over consecutive years),
schools that demonstrate a commitment to meeting the best practice principles around delivery, including joint planning, strong and clearly identified learning intentions, connections with the visiting school’s curriculum, and reinforcing the learning upon the students’ return to the classroom.
