Welcome to Riverton and District High School
Riverton and District High School aims to provide a stimulating, safe and enjoyable environment, where all
individuals can achieve their full potential as productive local
and global citizens. This is characterised by the
educational platforms of wellbeing, community partnerships, technology
and success for all.
Our school provides a
quality secondary education to students from Hamley Bridge,
Stockport and Tarlee in the south, Manoora, Waterloo, Black Springs
and Saddleworth
in the north and Marrabel, Rhynie and Riverton in the central
Gilbert Valley area.
Riverton's motto 'Strive for Excellence' is reflected in the school's success
in
extra-curricular programs
such as Viticulture School of the Year and Le Cordon
Bleu Challenge, and participation in the Northern Manufacturing
Concept to
Creation project.
We have a 50-hectare farm that has broad acre farming, a woodlot, olives, gardens,
a vineyard, sheep, cattle
and poultry as well as producing a range of quality wines.
The school caters for pathways into tertiary study as well as very successful vocational directions which will include viticulture and automotive through involvement in a Trade Training Centre. Science laboratories are modern and well-equipped, a new Performing Arts Centre opens in 2011, and most classrooms have Interactive White Boards.
