On behalf of the staff and leadership team at Riverwalk Primary School, it is my pleasure to warmly welcome you to our school community. I am extremely proud and honoured to be this wonderful school’s Principal and I cherish the opportunity to assist in the development of our most precious resource – our children.
Riverwalk Primary School is a safe, welcoming and inclusive community where every student is supported to learn, grow and belong. We value the strong partnership between home and school and recognise that students do their best when parents, carers, teachers and students work together. Built on respect and trust, we share responsibility for creating a positive environment where all learners can thrive.
Our vision for Riverwalk Primary School is to be an inclusive school community where everyone is empowered to achieve excellence. This vision is captured in our motto ‘Achieving Excellence’. We will provide a safe, inclusive and supported learning environment that inspires and challenges all members of the school community to embrace learning and achieve their academic, social, emotional and physical excellence. This will be achieved through the explicit teaching of our four school values:
- We are an inclusive school community.
- We work in collaboration to achieve common goals.
- We build resilience in ourselves and each other.
- We achieve excellence, by always challenging ourselves to improve.
Our approach to teaching is grounded in the science of learning. We are committed to explicit, evidence-based teaching that is clear, structured and purposeful. Every lesson is carefully designed, with learning broken down step by step, modelled clearly and practised to mastery. This ensures all students build strong foundations, develop confidence, and are consistently challenged to grow. Learning at Riverwalk is intentional. never left to chance and responsive to the needs of every child.
At Riverwalk, we value open and respectful communication with our families as key to supporting every child’s success. If you would like to connect, please contact our administration team, speak with your child’s teacher, or arrange a time to meet with a member of the Principal Team. Our door is always open, and we look forward to working together to support every student to achieve success and reach their excellence.
