Our School Values

Dear Riverina Families,

We’re excited to let you know that our Dollar for Schools lunch option starts up again from tomorrow!

A few important reminders to keep things running smoothly:
• All orders must be placed online via the Dollar for Schools website by 9am each Friday.
• Orders are online only - the school office is unable to place orders.
• If your child is going to be absent on a Friday, you can log in before 9am to move the order to a new date.
• Please double-check that your child’s class is correct when placing your order.

This is a great, lunch option for our students, and we’re looking forward to seeing it up and running again!

Thanks for your support.

Dear Riverina Families,

The Auckland Regional Dental Service (ARDs) is a Health NZ/Te Whatu Ora-operated service, which provides FREE dental care to children across the greater Auckland areas. In order to prevent any eligible
children missing out on receiving free dental care, ARDs is cross-checking their own records with school rolls.

For our children’s better oral health and wellbeing, our school roll will be shared with the service as required. To find out more information about ARDs, please visit ards.co.nz or call 0800 TALK TEETH
(0800 825 583).

Riverina School

Dear Riverina Families,

At Riverina School, we are always looking for ways to make our school more accessible and connected with our whānau.

We are excited to share that from 3:30pm this Monday, we will be trialling a new after-hours support system – Harriet, our AI chatbot, inspired by Harriet the Heron 

What does this mean for you?

When you call the school outside of school hours (including weekends and holidays), instead of reaching an answerphone, you’ll be connected to Harriet.

Harriet is designed to:

- Answer common questions about the school
- Provide information about events, the school calendar, and key dates
- Help with enrolment queries and general processes
- Guide you to relevant policies and procedures
- Take messages, which will be passed on to the appropriate staff the next school day
- Why are we doing this?

We want to make it easier for our community to access information whenever you need it – not just during school hours. Whether it’s a quick question or something you’ve been meaning to follow up on, Harriet is there to help.

This is a trial

We’ll be running this as a one-month trial, and your feedback is incredibly important.

- Please give it a go! Call the school after hours and see what Harriet can do.

- Let us know about your experience – what worked well and what could be improved.

You can share feedback with Bryce or Stacey in the office at any time during the trial.

As always, thank you for your ongoing support as we continue to explore new ways to better serve our Riverina community.

Riverina School

We warmly invite all our Riverina families to join us in the hall on Friday 22nd March for our annual Race Relations Day celebration.

Students may come to school in outfits that represent their culture and we will hold a parade at 2.15pm to celebrate all the amazing cultures that make up the Riverina School community. This will be followed by the weekly assembly.

Don’t forget this Friday is our fundraising Pizza Day. Head to www.dollarforschools.co.nz to a register and order a pizza for your child’s lunch on Friday.

All orders must be made by 9am Friday. Orders cannot be made at the school office.
