Riverside Adventist School
Welcome to Riverside Adventist School
Discover the little school with a big heart!
We are a small, co-educational primary school that has provided a comprehensive academic, spiritual, and physical program from Prep to Year 6 for over 50 years.
With our flexible approach to learning, small class sizes and idyllic location, Riverside Adventist School has much to offer Townsville families.
Riverside is proudly Adventist and welcomes families of all faiths and backgrounds.
Flexible Learning Experience
We’ve swapped traditional classrooms for a more flexible learning experience.
Flexible learning is an approach that is about really understanding a student’s educational needs. In some subjects they may need additional one-on-one support while in others they may be more advanced than their set year level.
It is also about how we use our space and group our activities – you’ll find students reading on beanbags or working alongside each other on a rug or collaborating on the whiteboard tables.
Learning at Riverside Adventist Schol
At Riverside our high teacher-student ratios mean that we can take the extra time to support students to thrive.
Setting students up for success with its range of extra-curricular activities, Riverside focuses on building character in students to support them to be contributing citizens and not only tolerant but supportive and empathetic towards others.
Riverside is located in a picturesque pocket beside the Ross River, which supports the curriculum’s emphasis on outdoor learning. Students work together to create and tend to gardens and get back to nature.
Technology
Every Riverside classroom has an interactive smartboard. Windows handheld devices and iPads are used throughout the learning program. Currently there is 1 student per device, meaning a device is usually available for any class to use for a learning task. We have the NBN connected so students will not be limited by slow downloads or page loading!
