As a comprehensive, public high school, we cater for girls of all abilities and interests. Sixty percent of our students come from a non English speaking background.

At Riverside, we emphasise the importance of academic excellence and we are proud of our HSC results. We aim to provide a caring and dynamic learning environment where all girls can achieve their individual potential.

A full range of subjects is available in the academic curriculum from Years 7 - 12. The school provides many opportunities for the girls to become involved in the life of the school as student leaders. We emphasise the importance of sport and cultural activities and extra curricular activities. Teachers are constantly undergoing further training and development in technology to support our commitment to excellence in technology education. Our technology facilities ensure that our students have well developed technology skills when they leave Riverside.

We enjoy strong support from our parents and the local community. Our facilities include a multimedia technology centre, a performing arts space for music and drama, a senior study and a gym.
