Year 8 and 9 students have been cooking up a storm in Food Technology this term; learning how to cook stir-fries, sushi and pancakes……mmmmm we are hungry now!
My son cooked us the combination noodles at home that he made in food tech. Good job kids 👍🏽
Reception students are showcasing our belonging school value. We all live in Australia, so children are enjoying investigating and learning about classmates’ cultural backgrounds and countries of origin.

Jess Warmington I just filled this online form out.
Missed this! Great... what's the vaccine for???
I have not received any information about this at all any my son gets quite anxious about needles. Riverbanks College B-12 I only happened to log onto FB to find out about this - emails really need to be sent out not using social media.
Very disappointing Was this the only way parents/caregivers were informed? If so poor communication.
