23.01.2022 This week Kindergarten were delighted to participate in the Kindifarm incursion. Students had the opportunity to revisit and consolidate concepts which had been explored earlier in the year relating to living things and their needs. The hands-on experience of feeding, patting and holding a variety of farm animals was very meaningful for all. #LoveWhereYouLearn

07.01.2022 The Premier's Debating Challenge Competition for Riverbank PS has been an intense one! Our Rhino’s topic in today's debate was that 'primary schools should start each day with a 30 minute exercise class' in which we argued the negative and won! Our Ravens argued the negative on the topic that 'we should ban all unhealthy food at school' and after some tough rebuttals, conceded defeat. Well done to all our debaters!
