Parking Reminder: Let's be considerate of all parkers!
When dropping off or picking up students at school, please respect the disability parking spots. These spaces are crucial for those who need them most. At Riverbanks we have several students who access vehicles using a ramp – which requires the additional space provided by designated disability parking. For those who’d like to know more SA.GOV.AU - How to use your disability parking permit
If you have a disability permit and are using these parks, make sure to display your sign clearly.
Let’s work together to make sure everyone has a safe and accessible experience. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!
#MindfulParking #RespectTheSpaces #CommunityCare
It’s also an offence worthy of a fine of $548 as per Section 203(1) in the Road Traffic Act - Offence code A378. Don’t just be considerate; follow the law or pay the price (literally) ☺️
Whilst on the road rules, please do not queue over the angle vale road intersection or run red lights to get around the corner heading to riverbanks. It's not just illegal, it's just plain dangerous.

So high school kids now have access to indoor areas? Nene Marie. Bec MacLeod
Tina Lee
High school students should have indoor access as well. Only option was gym 🙁
Can the school please specify areas available for high school kids. My daughter only just started and has no idea where things are and has sever anxiety, so if it’s only the gym, that’s a lot of kids in one space and a lot of body heat for aircon to keep cool. Riverbanks College B-12 as much info would really be appreciated
well my son will stay home then
it’s the gym only
Riverbanks College B-12 why are high school students restricted to one area?
Unfortunately, the aircons don't even work that well in heat like this week. One place like the gym isnt enough.
Sorry but high students should have more indoor options other then the gym what about the library or other rooms you are a bigger enough school to accommodate and have the space. Glad I kept my son home from school.
My daughter said it was so hot today and they had to go outside
My son came home and told me that they only had access to the gym and I didn’t believe him! He said he tried to go into cooler spaces (inside the school buildings) and was told to leave! Now that is confirmed, very poor from the leadership group. Maybe they should only have access to the gym also during break times 🤷🏼♀️
Ring the school and ask that way
The school places great significance of the wellbeing of the students at Riverbanks College. The students have access to the gym and the library as well as any other shaded area they may find. The school has an inclement weather policy, which aligns with the Department for Education's guidelines. You can find the policy at www.riverbankscollege.sa.edu.au/policy/

🌞 Sun Safety Alert! 🌞
As we embrace the sunny days, we want to remind everyone that our "No Hat, No Play" policy is in full swing! 🧢☀️
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all students, it's essential to wear a hat during outdoor activities. Let's protect ourselves from the sun and enjoy our time outside responsibly.
Remember, no hat means no play. If you need to purchase a new hat for your child you can order online at www.noone.com.au/school/riverbanks-college-b-12 or we have a small selection available for purchase at the school from the main reception and primary office.
Let's keep our school community safe and sun-smart! 😎

#SunSafety #NoHatNoPlay
Will high school students be allowed inside at break times on the 40+ degree days?

A new school year means fresh opportunities, exciting adventures, and endless possibilities. Whether you're stepping into a new grade, meeting new friends, or reuniting with old ones, today marks the start of something great.
Here are some Term 1 key dates for your calendars.
Hi are all kids getting a new ID photo taken?
Russell Wait sports day
What happens for the students starting the VET courses on the 5th Feb when ID pics are taken?
🚌 Dedicated Bus Services 🚌🏫
We are thrilled to announce we now have two additional bus services. There are six buses that transport our students to school from areas including Virginia, Lewiston, Two Wells, and Riverlea. Adelaide Metro buses are continuing their services for Riverbanks College as per 2024.
Visit our website at www.riverbankscollege.sa.edu.au/buses/ to view the bus timetables.
For families that have already been granted a seat on the bus for your child, an email was sent to parents/caregivers today. If you cannot see it in your inbox, please check your spam/junk folders and look for an email that has [Daymap DoNotReply] in front of the subject line.
Can students get on and off the 488 along Julian Road?
Ru able to check the time table for the two wells bus? Not tw2. It's saying return is 45mins from school to the first stop. The whole return timetable to about 30mins later than last year's.
Rebecca May I read it as it's only the loop in Angle Vale where the bus can be hailed outside of the designated stops on the timetable. Hopefully the school can confirm for you but you can also call Adelaide metro. I did last year when I had questions about the 489 route 😊
If we got emails for both Two Wells and Two Wells 2 can my children go on any?
My son couldn’t get a proper seat or a seatbelt on the two wells bus all year last year it was that full! Don’t get too excited anyone
Hi, I've tried to email about my daughter getting on the 490 from Davoren Park please.. just not sure if it went through.. thank you..
I didn’t get an email at all and my daughter was supposed to b on the bus tomorrow morning. This notice was left really late.
🔔 Friendly Reminder 🚨
Next week marks the start of Term 1 for 2025. All our staff are excited to see all the students again and are especially looking forward to welcoming the new students to Riverbanks College.

Hi I’m just wondering where all the preschool class photos are? There are only 14 pictures with 2 names absent but there were 39/40 kids in preschool. Many Thanks.
Joanne McGuiness it could be that they didn't have photo sharing permission from those families maybe or these were the students who had those permissions who weren't mid year intake students. I'm not sure and it's just a guess
This is great. 👍 Would this become available to buy as a hard copy at all?

What an incredible day at Riverbanks College! Our first-ever Market Day was a resounding success as our Year 7 HASS students truly embraced the $20 Boss program, turning their ideas into innovative products with creativity, teamwork, and entrepreneurial spirit.
The market was alive with energy as students showcased their creations, demonstrating impressive budgeting, prototyping, and ethical resourcing skills. From unique crafts to delicious treats, it was inspiring to see their hard work come to life!
A huge thank you to our amazing parents, caregivers, staff, and primary students who joined in to support the event. Your enthusiasm and engagement made the day even more memorable. 🛍️💡
