Rosie Prior Memorial

Work hard. Work harder than everyone else. You can do it. Of course you can.
Work hard to pass every test and exam with flying colours. Get a first class degree.
Run your own successful business. Do a marathon, up a mountain.
Nothing can stop you.

Be more Rosie.

Always do the right thing. No matter how hard it is, or how small the gesture.
Stand up to bullies. Take time to show the new girl where hockey practice is, even if it means being late for class.
Help strangers. Help everyone.

Be more Rosie.

Compete. With determination.
Put everything in to each match. Cheer and shout from the sidelines.
Encourage everyone to do their best. Congratulate every attempt and every success.

Be more Rosie.

Smile, laugh, and involve everyone.
Embrace the jokes. Like “Posh Cop”, use the honey from your bees on your crumpets.
Have a house full of family and friends. Fire rubber chickens around the kitchen.
Dance. Dance on the tables, hands in the air and a smile on your face. Especially when The Killers come on.

Be more Rosie.

Be the fun, supportive, and caring Mummy and Auntie.
Hold your little brother’s hand, and show him how to be strong.
Look up to your parents, idolise them, and learn everything you can from them.
Tell your husband “let’s do this!” and “we’ll be fine!”.

Be more Rosie.

Carry Rosie’s spirit with you and the world will be a brighter, kinder place.

Be more Rosie.
