ch 2020. If this in itself is not worth bragging about then consider the following:
During the toughest time in modern history Riverside College had
- a 100% Matric pass rate
- a 100% school pass rate. That means not one failure from Gr 1 to Gr 12
- ranked 5th amongst the private schools in our district
If this is what we deliver during tough times then just imagine what we can do when life is back to "normal". Our teachers are committed to the individual academic improvement of each and every learner in the school. They do their utmost to ensure that learners meet their individual academic goals. Academic goal setting takes place at the beginning of each term and teachers provide a solid foundation for the learners to excel from. Some may say that Riverside College is still the 'new kid on the block' but we have been around for the last 15 years and very recently moved into our beautiful, new school building in the secure neighbourhood of Burgundy Estate. The beauty of our location is the 24 hour security. Peace of mind knowing that the learners are in a protected environment that allows them to develop and learn in complete safety. If you are worried about your child's academic progress and or personal safety, then we have one question. Why have you not enrolled with Riverside College yet? Riverside College tick all the boxes!

Not all schools offer the same standard of education.

Choosing a school is about more than finding a place for your child. It's about choosing an environment that will shape their confidence, character, and future.

• Teachers who genuinely know and care for every child
• Leadership and character development from an early age

The internet has changed. Parenting has changed too.

Artificial Intelligence is becoming part of our children's everyday lives, often in ways parents don't even realise.

From AI chatbots and homework help to online conversations, advice, and entertainment, today's children are navigating a digital world that is evolving faster than ever before.

The question is: Are we equipped to guide them?

The AI Safety Awareness Programme for Parents has been created to help families better understand:
✔️ What AI chatbots are
✔️ How children are using them
✔️ The risks parents should be aware of
✔️ Practical strategies to help keep children safe online
✔️ How to start meaningful conversations about AI and digital safety

Knowledge is one of the greatest tools we can give ourselves as parents.

Education is About More Than Academics.

The world doesn't just need children who can pass exams.
It needs young people with character, integrity, respect, responsibility, and the confidence to make good decisions when no one is watching.

At Riverside College, we believe these lessons are just as important as anything taught in a classroom.

This past term, Mr Swart has been spending time with our boys, having honest conversations about what it means to become a young man of character. Topics included responsibility, respect, manners, leadership, accountability, and the challenges young men face in today's world.

These discussions have revealed something important: our children need guidance, mentorship, and positive role models now more than ever.

That's why we believe education should develop the whole child, not just their academic ability.

Because one day these boys will become husbands, fathers, leaders, employers, employees, and members of society.
Our responsibility is to help prepare them for all of it.

At Riverside College, we're not just preparing learners for exams. We're preparing them for life.
