Welcome to our learning community here at Riverina School. We are a Primary School located in the heart of Pakuranga. As one of the oldest Primary Schools in the area, we have a rich history of success in the areas of sporting, academic, cultural and the arts. We are so proud of the young people that leave our school as they go on to do great things!

As the Principal, I am privileged to lead a dedicated staff and community who put learners at the heart of all we do. The children here at Riverina School are our greatest asset, and our vision, "Every Child, Every Opportunity" speaks to the potential for greatness we see in every young person that walks through our doors.

We are committed to working in partnership with parents and caregivers to continue to strive for the highest standards and offer rich, diverse learning opportunities that engage and inspire every child to realise their potential.

Pink Shirt Day

16 May 2024

Dear Riverina Families,

We are excited to announce that this Friday, 17th May, our school will be participating in Pink Shirt Day! This special day is dedicated to speaking up and standing together to stop bullying in all its forms. As part of our commitment to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all students, we invite everyone to wear a pink top on Friday to show their support for this important cause. By wearing pink, we are sending a powerful message that bullying has no place in our school or community.

Pink Shirt Day is more than just a dress-up day; it's an opportunity for us to come together as a school community and take a stand against bullying. We believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and respected, and by participating in Pink Shirt Day, we are reaffirming our commitment to creating a positive and inclusive school culture.

To learn more about the Pink Shirt Day movement and how you can get involved, please visit the official website at www.pinkshirtday.org.nz.

Thank you for your support,

Riverina School

Teacher Only Day

14 May 2024

Dear Riverina Families,

We would like to advise our school community of our upcoming Teacher Only Day on Friday 31 May 2024.

These Teacher Only Days are given to primary and secondary schools and kura by the Ministry of Education to allow teachers dedicated time to understand, prepare and engage with changes across The New Zealand Curriculum refresh, the redesign of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, and shifts to strengthen NCEA.

They are opportunities for kaiako to share ideas and expertise and to grow their confidence in implementing the upcoming curriculum and assessment changes.

Our Ministry of Education Teacher Only Days for 2024 are 31 May 2024 and 25 October 2024 and both fall within the prescribed date range given to us by the Ministry of Education.

We are looking forward to the professional learning that will take place on this day.
