Principal’s Message

Welcome to Riverton Primary School.

Dear Parents, Students, and Friends of Riverton, I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to you as the proud Principal of Riverton Primary School.

As an educator and a parent, I understand the importance of the decision when choosing a school for your child.  We all want our children to be happy, capable, resilient and respected citizens of the world, and to have the confidence and enthusiasm to thrive and be the best they can be.

At Riverton PS, we believe in the mantra of “Little School, Big Ambition. (The Sky’s The Limit)” Our close-knit community fosters an environment where every student is known, valued, and supported on their educational journey. We feel privileged to play an integral role in helping to shape your child’s identity, their educational opportunities and aspirations, and their contributions to our wider community. We aim to bring about a ‘passion for learning’ by providing the foundational Literacy and Numeracy skills needed to become a successful life-long learner.

We are committed to working in partnership with families in our quest for greater educational opportunities and academic excellence for all. This is reflected through our school vision, values, Respect, Kindness, Learning and Persistence.

Our students’ experiences are nurtured through contemporary curriculum and teaching practices, with a range of extra-curricular programs that allow each child’s interests, talents and capabilities to shine. Specialist curriculum offerings including Science, Technologies and AUSLAN as a second language.

Riverton Primary School is a progressive public education school committed to excellence in educational outcomes, inclusion for all, putting students first and fostering partnerships with families.

I invite you to explore our website and join us for a tour to experience the wonderful community of our school.

I look forward to meeting you in the near future. Thank you.

Kind regards,

Melissa Claridge

Principal, Riverton Primary School
