Riverwood Public School
Riverwood Public School is a small school in south western Sydney, that provides quality education programs for 140 students from Preschool to Year Six. The school has a strong focus on enhancing learning and wellbeing outcomes for our students. The school values and celebrates a diverse student population with 72% of students from a language background other than English. The school currently has a range of multi-stage classes K-6 and two preschool groups. Riverwood Public School has a positive school culture underpinned by four shared values; trusting relationships, high expectations, growth and being student focussed. Building positive and trusting relationships between students, staff and the community is the key to our successful, collaborative and inclusive school environment. We work in partnership with our parent community to support and develop a student centred culture of high expectations and growth. We offer a range of extra curricular opportunities to support the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive wellbeing of our students. The school is committed to Explicit Direct Instruction as an instructional model and our pedagogical practice is aligned with the research from the Science of Learning. We have a strong learning culture and use instructional coaching as part of our collaborative approach towards professional growth.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
