As we enter a further national lockdown, the school remains open for vulnerable children or the children of key workers. For the vast majority of the community however, this means learning from home. In order to ensure that the school is providing home learning opportunities that mirror the high quality lessons the children receive in school, Riversdale will continue to use the Google Suite for Education range of facilities. For more information about this, please read the Virtual Learning Environment Policy on the school's Policies page.
To support parents/carers in understanding what their child(ren)'s remote learning experience may look like, we have developed a Remote Education Provision document that answer some commonly asked questions. Read More.
To support parents/carers that are considering joining the Riversdale family, or for those that a new to our school, we have put together a Frequently Asked Questions document.
