Bilingualism is an essential part of Riverside's identity, with intensive English instruction from the earliest years integrated into different learning areas and daily school life. Our students use English as a tool for communication, thinking, and exploring the world, developing confidence and fluency in the language. In Year 7, Portuguese is introduced as a third language, expanding communication opportunities and encouraging openness to new cultures within a multilingual project that enriches our students' education. Through projects, activities, and classes, English learning is integrated across the curriculum.
