Purple Cake Day - Friday 8 March

Purple Cake Day is a charity event that supports children to get the education they need to break the poverty cycle and create a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities. At Riwaka School we dressed in purple and brought along donations. Purple Cake Day is about kids helping kids. The activities celebrate and connect children around the world, helping them learn about their role in the global community, and grow their sense of compassion, respect and leadership.

Junior School Graduation

Daffodil Day

Yellow was the colour of the day on Friday 31 August for Riwaka School students as they placed money on the coin trail in the playground to raise funds for the Cancer Society Daffodil Day. Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved $188.40 was donated.

Farewell to Jane Adams

Friday 17 August was the final day for Jane as a teacher here at Riwaka School.  Jane has retired after 41 years in the teaching profession.  Staff, students, parents both past and present gave her a great send off complete with red carpet treatment.  Riwaka School will miss Jane. 

We wish Jane and Strachan all the best in their retirement adventures together.
