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.

Merry Christmas
13 Dec 2024

Dear Students, Parents, Teachers, and Staff,

As we come to the close of another year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many achievements and memorable moments that have shaped our school community in 2024. From academic successes to personal growth, and from community spirit to new friendships, we have much to be grateful for. Your hard work, dedication, and support have made this a year to remember.

As we celebrate the holiday season, I hope you all find time to relax, enjoy the company of loved ones, and recharge for the year ahead. May this Christmas bring peace, joy, and warmth to your homes, and may the New Year be filled with new opportunities, growth, and success.

Thank you for your continued commitment to our shared mission of excellence in education. Together, we are building a bright future for all our students.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with health, happiness, and prosperity.

Warm regards,

Bryce Mills
Principal

2025 School Schedule
13 Dec 2024

Dear Riverina Families,

We would like to inform you about some important changes to our school schedule for 2025. In response to the new government requirements for numeracy and literacy, as well as feedback from our class teachers on student engagement, we have made the decision to adjust our break times.

These changes are also informed by research from countries with a track record of high academic success in primary schools.

Starting Term 1, 2025, the school day will follow this schedule:

8:45 am – School Begins
8:50 am – Block 1: Numeracy
9:50 am – 10-minute Brain Break
10:00 am – Block 2: Reading
11:00 am – Morning Tea Break
11:30 am – Block 3: Writing
12:20 pm – Lunch Break
1:00 pm – Block 4: Teacher’s Choice
2:00 pm – 10-minute Brain Break
2:10 pm – Block 5: Teacher’s Choice
3:00 pm – School Ends


Key Changes to Break Times:

During Morning Tea, students will play first, followed by eating in the final 10 minutes before returning to class.
During Lunch, students will play first and then eat for the last 15 minutes before heading back to class.

We greatly appreciate your support in ensuring that your child arrives at school on time and ready to learn each day. Consistency and family support play a vital role in helping our students reach their academic potential and helps in minimising disruptions to the class once learning blocks have begun.

As always, we welcome your feedback on these changes. If you have any questions or would like further information, please feel free to contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

Bryce Mills
