Our staff will be taking part in professional development.
If you need to make alternative care arrangements, the OSHC service will be available and can be booked through YMCA, if spaces are available.

It would be so handy if both you guys and Angle Vale Primary worked together and have pupil free days on the same day 😆

This week is Reconciliation Week, with the theme ‘Be a Voice for Generations’, urging all Australians to use their power, their words, and their actions to create a better, more just Australia for all of us.
To celebrate Reconciliation Week, we have many activities planned throughout the week, including art activities, watching videos on the history, story and future of reconciliation in Australia and of course a whole school BBQ.

Students will hand in their phones to teachers in the morning, and phones will be stored safely and securely. At the end of the day, students will return to class to collect their mobile phones.
If students wish to make a purchase in the canteen and do not have cash, they will need to bring a debit card to school because they will not be able to use their phone to pay for purchases.

The Wellbeing Team have set up a fundraising account through the Drakes Community Dollars scheme. What this means, is that for every $2 spent at any Drakes store, we receive a small donation. You can support us by either collecting one of the tags from the school, or you can download the MyDrakes app, and select 'Riverbanks College B-12 Wellbeing' as your chosen recipient. These funds will be used to continue to provide breakfast and emergency lunches for students. Please share this with your friends and family.
