Our Values, Vision and Aims

We have five core values (CECIL) which are modelled everyday by all members of our school community. Our engaging curriculum is based on our School Values.

Community – We all learn happily together in collaboration. We build positive relationships with our families, friends, classmates and staff. We value our Riverside community. We are one; the Kitchener Family.

Equality – We believe we should all be treated fairly, we listen to each other and treat everyone the way we would like to be treated. Everyone in our school is encouraged to speak, have their say and share their opinions.

Care – We always go over and above to help each other, show compassion, affection and kindness to others. We care about ourselves, each other and our school learning environment.

Identity – We learn about ourselves and each other, respecting all cultures, languages and religions. We respect each other's differences and celebrate our uniqueness.

Learning – We all love learning, we know this will help us in the future. We want to be the best we can be. We show independence, motivation and resilience in everything we put our mind to!
