History

Roseville College was established on its current site in 1908, by Isobel Davies, the daughter of a retired Welsh clergyman. The school started with just seven pupils, a cottage known as "Hinemoa" (named after a Maori Princess), and a small playing field.cite web |url=http://www.roseville.nsw.edu.au/about_roseville-history.asp |title=History |accessdate=2007-12-17 |work=About Roseville |publisher=Roseville College] "'

Fees

As with most Australian independent schools, Roseville College is not a full fee paying institution, due to it receiving some government funding; full fees only apply to international students, who are not subsidised by any government funding. For non-international students, 2008 fees range from AUD$11,160 to AUD$18,320 per annum.

Roseville offers scholarships that provide full or part remission of tuition fees to students entering Year 7 or Year 11. Academic scholarships are based on the results of the ACER Scholarship Examination. In addition to those awarded for academic performance, Roseville also offers one full music scholarship for entry into Year 7, with applicants required to audition.cite web |url=http://www.roseville.nsw.edu.au/about_roseville-enrolments_and_scholarships.asp |title=Enrolments and Scholarships |accessdate=2008-02-18 |work=About Roseville |publisher=Roseville College]

Academic

Roseville College, while traditionally associated with achievements in the performing arts and sports, has in recent times improved its academic reputation.
