๐ฏ Celebrating 100 Days of Grade 1! ๐ฏ
Recently, our Grade 1 learners celebrated their first 100 days of school, a special milestone in what has already been an incredible year of growth and learning.
Over the past 100 days, they have learned so much more than reading, writing, and maths.
They have learned how to make friends, work as a team, solve problems, show kindness, build confidence, and believe in themselves.
Every day has brought new opportunities to learn, explore, and grow as they continue to develop into confident young learners.
We are incredibly proud of everything our Grade 1s have achieved so far and look forward to watching them continue to thrive throughout the rest of the year.
Here's to 100 days of learning, laughter, friendship, and achievement. ๐
Well done, Grade 1s!

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of our children's everyday lives.
Many children are already using AI chatbots to ask questions, get homework help, seek advice, explore personal interests, and even discuss topics they may feel uncomfortable talking about with adults.
But what exactly are children chatting about?
Why are young people turning to AI for conversation and support?
What information are they sharing?
And what risks and opportunities does this new technology present for families?
Join us for this important and practical webinar designed specifically for parents.
During this session, we will explore:
โ
How children and teenagers are currently using AI chatbots
โ
Why young people are increasingly choosing to converse with AI
โ
The types of conversations children are having with chatbots
โ
The benefits and educational opportunities AI can provide
โ
Potential risks, including privacy, misinformation, emotional dependency, and online safety concerns
โ
How AI is influencing learning, decision-making, relationships, and identity development
โ
Practical strategies for parents to guide children safely and responsibly in an AI-driven world
โ
The conversations every parent should be having with their child about Artificial Intelligence
Whether your child is already using AI daily or you simply want to understand the technology shaping their future, this webinar will provide valuable insights, practical guidance, and tools to help you navigate this rapidly changing digital landscape with confidence.
Hosted by Dave Swart-Traut
Dave Swart-Traut is the Director of Learner Development at Riverside College and has worked extensively with children, adolescents, parents, and educators in the fields of learning, behaviour, emotional wellbeing, and personal development.

Education is about more than academics.
At Riverside College, we believe that raising young men of character is just as important as achieving good marks.
This term, Mr Swart has been meeting with our boys to have honest conversations about responsibility, respect, manners, integrity, leadership, and what it means to become a well-rounded young man.
These discussions have been incredibly valuable, highlighting both the strengths of our learners and the areas where they need additional support and guidance.
The sessions have also reinforced something we strongly believe: raising healthy, respectful, and confident young men is a partnership between school and home.
As we head into the exam period, these sessions will pause and resume in Term 3. We encourage parents to continue these important conversations at home and support us as we work together to prepare our boys not only for academic success, but for life.
Because the world needs more than educated young men.
It needs good men.

The foundation years matter.
The confidence your child builds, the support they receive, and the environment they learn in during Grade 1 can shape their entire school journey.
At Riverside College, we believe every child deserves more than just a placement. They deserve a school where they are known, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Why families choose Riverside College:
โ Caring, dedicated teachers who genuinely invest in every child
โ Individual attention in a supportive learning environment
โ Strong academic foundations from the very beginning
โ A zero-tolerance approach to bullying

Grade 1 is not just the start of "big school". It's the beginning of your child's future.
If you didn't receive placement at your preferred school, there is still time to explore your options.

Only 129 schools in South Africa have achieved this. Riverside College is one of them.
Out of 6,590 schools nationwide, only 129 have maintained a 100% matric pass rate consistently for five consecutive years (2020โ2025).
We are incredibly proud that Riverside College Burgundy Estate - a small, exclusive independent school at the foot of Tygerberg Hill in Plattekloof - is one of those 129 schools.
But our success is about far more than exam results.
At Riverside College, we teach every learner as though we are raising a Leonardo da Vinci โ with curiosity, courage, creativity, and the belief that every child has unique potential waiting to be unlocked.
Our internal academic and learner development programmes, offered from Grade 4 to Grade 12, are intentionally designed to support the whole child โ academically, emotionally, socially, and personally.
Because we believe strong results come from more than studying hard.
They come from:
โจ learners who feel seen
โจ teachers who believe in potential
โจ structure and accountability
โจ and an environment where children are challenged to think, grow, and become who they were created to be.
A 100% pass rate is the outcome.
Holistic learner development is the reason.
If youโre looking for a school where excellence and individual attention go hand in hand, Riverside College continues to prove what is possible when education is personal.
