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.

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).

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.
