The teachers thank all the families (33 car loads) who came to Riversdale for the ‘Climate and Beach Education Day’. The children have talked non-stop about the many different aspects of the day and all the things they learnt and enjoyed.
Kahutara School is very passionate about water safety at and before children leave us in Year Eight, we want all our children to be able to look after themselves in and around the water.

St Teresa’s
Seventy children from St Teresa’s attended and provided musical items at the launching of Joy Cowley’s latest book at the ANZAC Hall on Saturday. The book, The Easter Story, is illustrated by Father Don Morrison.
