Amanda Morley have you done one for the boys?
๐ดโโ๏ธ Last week, our Year 7 students had the incredible opportunity to meet 4-time Olympian and dual Bronze Medallist Matthew Glaetzer! ๐ Matthew shared his inspiring journey of dedication, goal setting, and grit, and spoke about overcoming big challenges on his path to achieving his ultimate goal: winning a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. ๐ฅ
It was truly an honour to have such a legendary Australian athlete visit Riverbanks College and inspire our students to chase their dreams and never give up! ๐

๐ฃ Introducing the Big Buddy, Little Buddy Program! ๐
As part of our ongoing commitment to fostering a positive school culture, we're excited to launch the "Big Buddy, Little Buddy" system across our school! ๐ This initiative is all about creating meaningful connections between students from different year levels and enhancing our sense of community.
Recently, students had the chance to participate in a special 'meet and greet' session with their buddy class. It was a fantastic opportunity for everyone to get to know their buddies, break the ice, and start building strong, positive relationships. ๐ฌ๐ค
We're looking forward to seeing these bonds grow and thrive throughout the year, making our school an even more supportive and inclusive place for everyone.
Stay tuned for more updates and stories from our Big Buddy, Little Buddy adventures! ๐๐

In addition to drivers not leaving their vehicles unattended during the times displayed, drivers may only stop their vehicle for a maximum of 2 minutes in this drop off and pick up zone.

Thank you This will be great for those who struggle finding a park and can now pull up, pick up and drive off. Hopefully someone is there to report those who choose to ignore this and feel entitled to park and go collect their child.
Hope the parking improves. Most mornings there is no parking at all on the street for drop offs as it is full with staff, or people are inconsiderate in how they park blocking another lane in the carpark.
This is brilliant! Chris Hayes
Who ever planned the road didn't play for the amount if traffic that would bottle neck until such time that it can possibly be extended
Sez Disney
This is excellent! Now they need to enforce it so it can be used as intended!
And the school is not at full capacity yet
Is there a plan for student parking as year 10s begin getting their Ps?
For those of you that are look at restocking your child's uniform or getting a new hat ready for the Term 4 hot weather policy, Belgravia have announced that their retail and online outlets will be closed as of 6.00pm Thursday 26 September 2024, due to stocktaking.

๐จ Year 9 Art has been exploring the vibrant world of Pop Art! Inspired by Peter Anton and Claes Oldenburg, students have created stunning large-scale sculptures by experimenting with scale, proportion, shape, texture, and color.
They began with observational tonal drawings of popular culture objects to perfect their understanding of proportion and tone. Using recyclable materials like cardboard, they then constructed their sculptures, applying paper mache to bring their creative visions to life.
Their dedication has been incredibleโmany even coming in during lunch breaks to keep working on their projects. Fantastic work, everyone! ๐๐๏ธ

shame that we don’t have them on the road side near the bike rack and roundabout too
Thank you
Same as the drop off and pick up right outside the inclusion units. Can I confirm this bay is for families who children need to access their classes in the unit by parking here/for taxis, or is it for anyone to park there as that’s what’s happening at the moment.
I've seen people WITH permits getting abused by other parents.. actually gross
