who played with enthusiasm and fantastic effort all day.
Both of our teams won two games on the day, including
some narrow defeats.
The students are to be congratulated for their excellent

Crazy Hat Day
Newsletter
COVID-19 Update
On Friday 21st August, the students were
rewarded with a Crazy Hat Day for
demonstrating our PBS values - Respect,
Responsibility and Aspire.
We started off the day with a mini assembly
showcasing each class Crazy Hats to the rest of
the school.
There were some fabulous colourful creations.
Even some of our teachers were
unrecognisable!!!
Coastal Waste Warriors - Mr Lee Last week, Riverside Primary school students were treated to a
special visit from our very own, Mandurah’s Coastal Waste Warriors
where they met one of its first founders, Kirsten Field.
Kirsten and her family, first started the community group to spread
the awareness about plastic pollution whilst educating others on
ways to reduce our very own waste and plastics in Mandurah’s
waterways. The community group found ways to inspire others, by
looking after our environment and taking positive actions together for
our marine life and coastal areas.
Our students were introduced to the group and each year group
came up with strategies to reduce waste and plastics by rethinking
old habits and changing them into to new positive ones. Taking
positive actions for our land and oceans by following the six R’s of
sustainability. Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink and
Retrieve.
Well, the time had come to train ourselves in our new habits. On
Sunday 23rd August, Doddi’s Beach, Halls Head was home to the
Coastal Waste Warriors 14th Community Clean Up Event. The
turnout was amazing, where over 150 volunteers spent two hours
cleaning the shores and surroundings of this beautiful beach front
location. In total, they were successful in removing 138kgs of litter
and marine debris, preventing this from entering our ocean and
waterways. It was great to see a few of Riverside’s students and
teachers joining in on the fun. A fun morning was held by all.
The next community clean up event will be held in September at
Pyramids Beach, Dawesville. This, being home to where it all began
back in January 2019.
All students and teachers are encouraged to attend. We can all
make a difference for our community! This being only one of many
community events that our City of Mandurah invites us all to attend.
Remember, taking positive actions now will ensure that everyone will
be able to enjoy our beautiful waterways and marine life for many
years to come.
Pictured above are our very own Coastal Waste Warriors
Alexander M, Deakin P, Eden and Jevin C.
Under current DoE COVID-19 guidelines,
unfortunately no food (homemade or store bought) is
permitted on school premises for sharing in the
classroom for birthdays and special occasions. This
has been clarified by the COVID-19 support team this
week. We will advise when restrictions have been
lifted.
Thank you for your co-operation.
