25.01.2022 KindyLinQ started at Richie today. The mums, dads and grandparents had a great time with their kids. It's on again tomorrow from 8:30am - 11:30am. Come and join the fun.

24.01.2022 State Education Week Extraordinary Education Year 1 - 3 students today enjoyed a lunchtime of extraordinary activities with the Beebots. They participated in basic coding of the Beebots to navigate their way around playmats. A great time was enjoyed by all.

24.01.2022 After a jam-packed, exciting Pirate Pre-Prep Day yesterday, the KIPPAR families had a low-key day playing "Keep Away from the Lions" on the Prep playground, making Christmas Gift Boxes and playing with pretend insects and dinosaurs. We enjoyed crackers with cheese, blueberries, strawberries, snow peas and slices of watermelon over two snack times - everyone was hungry earlier than usual this morning! Only a couple of KIPPAR days left this year, so please join us next week on Thursday between 9 and 11am.

24.01.2022 Due to unforseen circumstances Instrumental Music practice has been cancelled for next Monday, September 7th.

23.01.2022 Some of our 2021 Preppies had fun with a Transition Visit to Richie Library this week and enjoyed some play time with Ms Forward and Year 6 Buddies. They really loved their new Library Bag! NEXT TRANSITION FUN is Thursday 29th Oct 1.30-2.30 Eat with Preppies and Playtime

23.01.2022 Come and join us at KIPPAR tomorrow. We have planned a busy morning expanding on the song 'Old MacDonald had a Farm.' 9.00am to 11.00am in the Community Room. We hope to see you there.

22.01.2022 Worms were the focus of last week's KIPPAR session - who would have thought something so small would be so entertaining to 4 year olds and parents alike? Kids visiting the school for their Prep Interviews and some of our Grade 3 students even asked if they could hold some! Reactions were mixed - some thought they were gross and some thought they were cool, but nobody said they were boring! Miss Belinda brought along some books from the library and we learnt lots of cool facts about worms and all the good things they do for soil. KIPPAR Kids got to take home their own mini worm farm, much to their delight! Next Thursday. 9am - 11am. See you there!

22.01.2022 Our Richie students will be performing at these presentations. 2.30 - 2.50pm.

20.01.2022 Don't forget the Colour Explosion Run is on this Friday, September 18. Please get your money in as soon as possible. Thank You.

Children try to solve real life maths problems with the help of their peers on a wide range of topics. Today it was Year 4-6. Tomorrow it is the Prep -Year 3s turn. As you can se,e the Year 4 students were really having fun as they attempted each challenge today.

20.01.2022 Richie held its Year 6 Graduation last night. Thank you to all the proud parents and relatives who attended and supported their kids. Congratulations to all graduates and especially those who won individual awards. A memorable night.

18.01.2022 We have some special guests from the Charters Towers community coming this week during KIPPAR and we would love it if you could join us! It is so exciting that Prospect Community Services are bringing a mini Teddy Bear's Picnic to Richmond Hill SS. The plan is to start at 9:30am and you will find us in picnic-mode around the KIPPAR and Prep areas. Feel free to bring your favourite Teddy Bear, doll or toy along to join in the fun (please make sure they are named though, in case they are misplaced). This will be an excellent opportunity for our Pre-Prep aged kids to socialise with this year’s Preps and explore the area they will be in next year. As always, hat, water bottle and shoes are a must. We are SO excited and we can't wait to see you there!

13.01.2022 As Richie is unable to have a Fete this year due to Covid Restrictions, we are having a Night Markets to continue the tradition.

13.01.2022 KindyLinQ has its first day at Richie tomorrow. If you have a child who is turning 3 or has turned 3 during this financial year you can come to KindyLinQ. Any siblings can also attend. Richie this year is one of a handful of trial schools in Queensland undertaking KindyLinQ so tell your friends. 8:30am - 11:30 am Wednesdays and Thursdays. Come in and have a fantastic morning of fun and learning.

12.01.2022 There are a number of computer monitors for sale at Richie. Please contact the school for further information.

12.01.2022 In Week 2 at KIPPAR, we explored the idea of making a boat to float. Mums and Grandpas helped their little ones make boats out of recycled boxes, tubes and paper, with varying degrees of success. For most of our creations, it wasn't so much a race to the finish line as a race to the bottom (of the water trough). After we were done with boat races, we went fishing (with magnetic toy fish and magnetic toy fishing line). Then, we moved onto floating shaving foam 'icebergs' and ...colouring them with food colouring to see what would happen. Mixing all of those colours together in the water, made it a murky shade of brown and we decided it was time to move on to the Prep playground to play on the slides and in the boat, all the while avoiding the 'Lava Sharks' that surrounded the play area. Using the kids' imaginations and everyday household resources has resulted in tons of fun and lots of creative learning experiences. KIPPAR Kids aim to be kind, creative and confident. If you would like to join in with your little ones, we'd love to see you next Thursday between 9 and 11am.

12.01.2022 Don't forget about the Richie Night Markets coming up in a fortnights time. Also tickets for the hamper are now available at school.

11.01.2022 Some of Richie's new preppies for 2021 had the opportunity to meet their new teachers and friends as well as look at their new classrooms and playground last night. Thank you for your beautiful manners that were on display.

10.01.2022 It was a warm morning last Thursday at KIPPAR, but that didn't stop the kids going for it on the tricycles and scooters under the shade of the MPC. With our mini traffic lights up and running, we even had a trike traffic jam - but thankfully no road rage! We were delighted to welcome a lovely new family to the group this morning and the kids were so excited to have new friends to play with! Morning Tea was a fabulous social event, with the children sharing crackers and fruit and discussing a variety of topics. If you're free between 9-11am next Thursday, we'd love to see you at KIPPAR, where the learning's always fun!
