In additional to this, the school has a range of outside facilities, including two playgrounds and learning street. The learning street encompasses flexible learning options with both indoor and outdoor areas of the school. The school also integrates the latest technology as a tool to support learning, including iPads, laptops and a range of STEM resources. Interactive whiteboards and LCD screens are available throughout the learning spaces.
Supported Inclusion School
Riverwalk Primary School is a Supported Inclusions School that support more students with a disability than typical schools. We have facilities that provide extra support for students with a disability, which means that all students have better access to learning and play areas.
Supported Inclusion Schools are a new addition to the Victorian education system and it is a model which balances a level of targeted support that is greater than a standard mainstream school, with a level of inclusivity that is greater than a stand-alone specialist school.
At Riverwalk Primary School, we prioritise the learning and support needs of all students, including students who are eligible to attend a specialist school. Resources, including equipment and technology and the physical environment, have been carefully considered.
All students benefit when young people of diverse abilities and backgrounds learn together. The benefits extend beyond the classroom. Research shows that inclusive learning settings increase understanding and acceptance of diversity.
