Prep-6 Private School in Townsville
Nurturing environment beside the Ross River
Riverside Adventist School is located in a picturesque pocket in Aitkenvale along the Ross River. Our school premises include plenty of green spaces, which support our curriculum’s emphasis on outdoor learning. Students work together to create and tend to gardens and get back to nature.
We recognise that all children learn differently, and consider ourselves blessed to be located in a spot that lends itself so well to regular engaging lessons both inside and outside of the classroom.
An inclusive and welcoming community
Education at Riverside is underpinned by traditional Christian values, offering a holistic program where students and their families are embraced and welcomed to our community.
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.
Riverside is proudly Adventist and welcomes families of all faiths and backgrounds.
Helping students thrive
Riverside has low teacher-student ratios, allowing us to take the extra time to support students in their learning journey.
Our structured but flexible classrooms focus on minimal distraction and clear instruction to provide students with an environment that supports engagement and minimises cognitive (or brain) overload.
