PROCESSES
-
Buddy
InteractionBuddy Interactions
The 'Buddy Interaction' process is built on the premise that learning is about respect - and not about hierarchy! When respect fuels the interaction, both the buddies learn from and about each other. No longer is it about the older teaching the younger, but everyone leaving the moment richer because of the interaction. A community of sharing, caring and growing is cultivated when all learners feel valued and safe.

Congenial Meets
Congenial Meets
A key determinant of creativity and growth in a school is the relationship shared between the members of the teaching community as well as the support team - for the strength and trust in the team has a direct impact on the decisions made for the children. The 'Congenial Process' at Riverside has been designed to intentionally foster a sense of community and collegiality amongst the team. Research has shown that colleagues who respect and trust each other are more likely to work from a space of ownership and accountability towards their work and this means they are more willing to innovate and create opportunities for their children.

Parent
OrientationParent Orientation
At the beginning of each year, the 'Parent Orientation' is an opportunity for all new and existing parents to align to the values and expectations of the school and meet the members of the community. It is a time where parents participate in a thoughtful, joyful and intentionally designed learning experience which helps them move from any anxiety that they might have to a feeling of anticipation for the years of schooling ahead for their children!

The 'Bright Hearts and Minds' process is a time where parents witness an exhibition of learning across the subjects and grades- and witness children using 'strategies' to demonstrate not only 'what' they have learned, but also 'how' they learn.

CITIZENSHIP THROUGH DESIGN FOR CHANGE
CITIZENSHIP THROUGH DESIGN FOR CHANGE
The power of Design Thinking allows both children and adults to transform the world into how they envision it - the power to create a more compassionate, empathetic world. Design for Change (conceptualised and launched by Riverside in 2009) offers a simple, powerful framework to empower children to believe they are not helpless, change is possible and they can drive it - very simple - the power of 'I CAN.! Today, DFC is the largest global movement of change - of and by children. Design for Change is running in more than 55 countries, reaching out to miillions of childrern.
SKILL WORKSHOPS
-
Surplus
Surplus
'Surplus' is a simple mindful process through which children, teachers and all support team members add value to the ecosystem. There are multiple opportunities in each day ( the bus ride, the lunch time, the bathrooms, the time between sessions etc ) to leave the world a little bit more just, a little bit more beautiful and a little bit more kind - and the SURPLUS process is designed to help all stakeholders be more observant and more intentional.

Month End Celebration
Month End Celebration
A culture of congeniality is built when members of a community have warm and social interactions amongst each other. But a culture of collegiality is cultivated when all team members feel safe to share both - their achievements and their 'failures' in a safe and non judgemental space. The Month End Presentation is a time for the community to gather and celebrate and be inspired by their colleagues as they travel this journey of growth and purpose.
-
School Tour
School Tour
The school space doubles as a home away from home for all children - and to have a sense of community and ownership with the space and their peers, adults and the programme of learning will make the journey that much more enjoyable. The 'School Tour' process is one such opportunity that helps all learners build that sense of 'family ' through the understanding of the ‘why ', the 'what' and the 'how' of the way the school system functions.
