Every school year begins with new classes. This applies not just to students but also to teachers. Students get to know their new teachers and teachers get to know their students. 

One way that teachers may do this is by reading a student’s Learning Plan. With over a 120 Riverside High School Learning Support Learning Plans, great commitment from our very hardworking staff is required. Teachers use Learning Plans to personalise learning and note adjustments made for each student.

Once these plans are read, they are reviewed and updated for the first of a minimum of three times over the course of the year. This all happens in Term One. So, it’s a busy term but, as you can see from the smiles on our students’ faces and from their work shown, the process produces very worthwhile outcomes. We’re sure you’ll agree.

We would like to acknowledge the magnificent work of our 2025 Teacher Assistants who provide unwavering support and critical guidance for our students who are fortunate enough to be directly supported by them.
