Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
"Riverstone High School is a diverse, inclusive community dedicated to quality teaching, learning, and wellbeing. We focus on building resilience and aspirations to prepare students for a complex world, fostering a culture of high expectations.
Situated on Dharug land, Riverstone High is an integral part of the local community, welcoming students from a range of cultural backgrounds and supporting new families as the area grows. We work closely with local primary schools to ensure smooth transitions for students starting high school.
The school offers education from Years 7 to 12 with a broad curriculum, future-focused learning spaces, HSC study options including Vocational Education, and opportunities with Nirimba Collegiate. Our Inclusive Education Unit supports students with disabilities through personalised learning and integration into mainstream courses."
