Riva staff are characterised by their commitment to learn with and alongside our students and community. Our school includes a significant number of students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and who speak English as an additional language.
Our school is above all, inclusive, meaning that every student is actively supported to achieve in the least restrictive environment, with their peers.

We cater for students with disability, requiring staff who are skilled in adjusting their instructional practices and delivery, providing engaging and rigorous learning experiences for all students.
Our staff are highly motivated and committed to students’ academic achievement and their social and emotional development.
