Principal’s Report

Dear Parents/Guardians

Last Friday, Riverside High School students in Years 7–10, along with staff, attended the Launceston College production of Once Upon a One More Time. The performance was outstanding and featured many former Riverside High School students, on stage and behind the scenes.  The acting, dancing, singing, and music inspired and engaged our entire school community.

We believe it’s important for all young people not just those studying arts subjects to have the opportunity to experience live theatre. Thank you to Launceston College for inviting us and to our students for being such a wonderful audience.

Celebration Assemblies

Congratulations to all students who received certificates in our celebration assemblies last week! A full list of recipients is included in this week’s newsletter.

Certificates were presented to students for Outstanding Academic Achievement and Outstanding Effort at the mid-year reporting phase. Riverside High School uses data from these reports to determine award recipients. Thank you to the families who attended and congratulations to all students for their impressive results.

F1 in Schools Breakfast

On Wednesday, we held a breakfast to thank businesses, industry partners, and mentors who supported our F1 in Schools teams in 2025. Your generous financial support and guidance have been invaluable.

This year saw the inclusion a Cadet Program, allowing Riverside High School students to connect with peers from Riverside Primary School and learn how the program is structured. Special thanks to staff members Adrian Smith, Jay Duggan, Annette McCarthy, and Jo Howe for supporting our teams at the National Finals.

 Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews

A reminder to families that Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews will be held on Monday, 18 August, 3:30pm – 5:00pm and Tuesday, 19 August, 3:30pm – 6:30pm. We encourage students to attend with their parents or guardians to celebrate their mid-year achievements, discuss opportunities for growth, and share insights into their learning journey.

The next report will be sent home in Term 4.

Maths and Numeracy at Riverside High School

In 2025, Riverside High School continues to offer Maths Extension as an elective subject for Years 8-10. The AST’s of Mathematics are Kylie Jago and Emily Peterson.

In Term 3, the Maths Extension program has expanded to include Year 7 students through a Tier 2 enrichment program running for 12 weeks. These students will work with Mrs Emily Peterson using the Australian Maths Trust’s Enrichment Program. The school will cover the program’s cost, and students are expected to complete at least one hour of homework per week.

Riverside High School also participates in the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC). The competition runs for 75 minutes and includes 30 questions of increasing difficulty. Students in Years 7-10 participated in the test on Tuesday and we congratulate them on their effort and look forward to receiving their results.

As we move through Term 3, I continue to be inspired by the energy, commitment, and achievements of our students and staff. Whether it's through academic excellence, creative expression, or community engagement, our school is a very busy place.

This week, we’re especially excited for Battle of the Bands, happening on Friday! It’s always a highlight of the term, showcasing the musical talent and teamwork of our students in a vibrant celebration of creativity. We encourage everyone to come along, cheer loudly, and enjoy the music.
