24.01.2022 A message from our Associate Principal Goodbye To the amazing parents, families and Rivergums community members,... It was with mixed emotions that I am writing to you to tell you that I have won the Principal position at Rockingham Beach and that my journey at Rivergums has come to an end. I would just like to thank all of the community for supporting me in my role since we opened back in 2016. I have thoroughly enjoyed working side by side with parents supporting individual children and families. I am so appreciative of the relationships that I built with the P and C and School Board. I would like to thank Julianne and Todd for being such active members of the community and supporting the school in all of its endeavours and leading these very two important parent bodies. I will miss all of the daily conversations and sharing successful moments with you. I wish everyone the very best with the future and I will miss you all. Best wishes, Jackie Redfearn

23.01.2022 Our Year 5 students went on an excursion to Fremantle last Wednesday. They had an incredible time at Fremantle Prison learning about the convicts and their punishments. Students were locked in solitary confinement with their teachers and screamed the prison down! They then walked down to the Maritime Museum and had a fantastic time learning about the whaling boats, the history of the Fremantle Port, and sailing boats. They even managed to head to the Roundhouse to watch the cannon being fired at one o'clock. The students were wonderfully behaved all day. Thank you to the parents that accompanied them, your help was greatly appreciated.
