The school newsletter is an information service for parents and caregivers. We encourage you to read relevant sections (for example, your child's Room update) together with your child.
A hard copy is sent home to each family. Newsletters are also available for download in pdf format - see below (some files are quite large).
Note that in 2018 we are trialling a new system. The published newsletters will only include content from the School's management team and items of interest pertaining to the general community.

Riverside ESC places strong emphasis on regular attendance and this approach has generated both improved participation at school and generated recognition from the Department of Education.
