💥 Students in Years 7 to 10 had an exciting opportunity last term as the South Australian Sports Institute visited our school to lead high-level fitness testing! 💪🏽
80 of our students showcased incredible power, speed, and endurance, pushing themselves to the limit with outstanding grit and determination.
🔥 Highlights include:
• Tyler (Year 9) clocking an impressive 3.05 seconds in the 20m Sprint!
• Scarlet (Year 10) with a swift 3.57 seconds in the same event!
• Oliver (Year 10) showing incredible endurance with a 12.1 score in the Beep Test!
Huge congrats to all students who participated! 🎉 Your hard work and effort were truly inspiring.

Our Year 10 students in the Specialist AFL program have been hard at work learning all about nutrition and meal planning for athletes! 💪🍎 They explored the nutritional value of different foods and drinks, then applied that knowledge to create their own athlete-inspired meal plans for a week. 🥗🍌
To cap off their learning, the students got hands-on in the Food Technologies kitchen, meal prepping healthy wraps with ingredients they personally selected from their plans! 🌯👩🍳

🚴♂️ Last week, our Year 7 students had the incredible opportunity to meet 4-time Olympian and dual Bronze Medallist Matthew Glaetzer! 🙌 Matthew shared his inspiring journey of dedication, goal setting, and grit, and spoke about overcoming big challenges on his path to achieving his ultimate goal: winning a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. 🥇
It was truly an honour to have such a legendary Australian athlete visit Riverbanks College and inspire our students to chase their dreams and never give up! 🌟

They truly embodied our school values of grit, kindness, collaboration, and belonging as they tackled this challenge together, setting an amazing example for our students.
Through determination and teamwork, they showed that with goal-setting and dedication, anything is possible. 💪💫 Their journey reminds us all that growth happens when we push our limits and support each other along the way.

📣 Introducing the Big Buddy, Little Buddy Program! 🌟
As part of our ongoing commitment to fostering a positive school culture, we're excited to launch the "Big Buddy, Little Buddy" system across our school! 🎉 This initiative is all about creating meaningful connections between students from different year levels and enhancing our sense of community.
Recently, students had the chance to participate in a special 'meet and greet' session with their buddy class. It was a fantastic opportunity for everyone to get to know their buddies, break the ice, and start building strong, positive relationships. 💬🤝
We're looking forward to seeing these bonds grow and thrive throughout the year, making our school an even more supportive and inclusive place for everyone.
Stay tuned for more updates and stories from our Big Buddy, Little Buddy adventures! 📚💛

The Council Have been listening!
The Playford City Council have taken your feedback onboard and have adjusted the signage on one of the parking bays on Harvest Boulevard.
In addition to drivers not leaving their vehicles unattended during the times displayed, drivers may only stop their vehicle for a maximum of 2 minutes in this drop off and pick up zone.
Please contact the Playford City Council Traffic unit on 8256 0172 if you have any questions.
Thank you This will be great for those who struggle finding a park and can now pull up, pick up and drive off. Hopefully someone is there to report those who choose to ignore this and feel entitled to park and go collect their child.
Hope the parking improves. Most mornings there is no parking at all on the street for drop offs as it is full with staff, or people are inconsiderate in how they park blocking another lane in the carpark.
This is brilliant! Chris Hayes
Who ever planned the road didn't play for the amount if traffic that would bottle neck until such time that it can possibly be extended
Sez Disney
This is excellent! Now they need to enforce it so it can be used as intended!
And the school is not at full capacity yet
Is there a plan for student parking as year 10s begin getting their Ps?

🎨 Year 9 Art has been exploring the vibrant world of Pop Art! Inspired by Peter Anton and Claes Oldenburg, students have created stunning large-scale sculptures by experimenting with scale, proportion, shape, texture, and color.
They began with observational tonal drawings of popular culture objects to perfect their understanding of proportion and tone. Using recyclable materials like cardboard, they then constructed their sculptures, applying paper mache to bring their creative visions to life.
Their dedication has been incredible—many even coming in during lunch breaks to keep working on their projects. Fantastic work, everyone! 🌟🖌️
Looking amazing well done very cool
