A Message from the Principals

Welcome back to everyone for another term. I hope that students, their families and the staff members had a
relaxing, healthy and enjoyable holiday break. Undoubtedly, it will be another busy term as our students complete
another dynamic and busy program of work. This term will see our students practising for and competing in the
Faction Athletics Carnival towards the end of term and also experiencing Book Week again. With Open Night
coming up in the middle of the term, classes will again be preparing their rooms for that evening. In addition, we
will have our usual number of excursions across the school, making for an engaging and full ten weeks. If you are
a new family to our school, we welcome you and hope that your children will enjoy their experience at Riverton.

Congratulations to all those students who won awards at the final assembly for the term held on Friday 3 July.
The awards reflect the hard work, commitment and abilities demonstrated by the winners, who earned those
awards. Thank you to the large number of parents who attended and to the student leaders for their impressive
leadership during the event.
With Mrs Coles leaving the campus at the end of last term to take up a Deputy Principal position at Leeming SHS
Education Support Centre, Mr. Sean Smeed will be teaching in Room 16. We thank Kerryn for her outstanding
contribution to our campus over 12 years here, and we wish her well at Leeming. On behalf of the campus, I
would like to welcome Mr Smeed to the school and wish him all the best during his time here.
Yesterday, we held our School Development Day with our teachers travelling to several schools across the
Riverton Rossmoyne network to attend morning sessions relating to the Australian curriculum, specifically looking
at assessment, standards and planning. The afternoon was spent back at Riverton, where our teaching teams
worked on performance management and peer coaching.
th
Our Year 4 students travelled to the Hyogo Prefectural Government Cultural Centre in City Beach on Friday 4
July on a Japanese language excursion. They took the opportunity to practise their Japanese language skills and
participate in a variety of sporting and cultural activities as well as viewing a number of Japanese displays. A
fantastic day was enjoyed by all the students. Thanks again to Ms Hall for her organisation and also to the
parents for their support on the day.
