At Riverside High School, student attendance and safety are a high priority. If your child is absent or late, could you please phone our school office or send a note as all lateness and absence must be explained. This is a legal requirement by the Department for Education, Children and Young People.

We have changed our platforms in line with DECYP requirements for parent communication. Please be patient with us during this transition period.

Riverside High School will no longer be using MGM text messaging, please delete the mobile number used in previous years, we have moved to EdSmart Multichannel Messaging System.

EdSmart Multichannel Messaging solution sends notifications to the parent/guardian after 9:30am advising that their child has been marked as absent and requesting a response advising us of the reason for the absence and an estimated return to school date.  

As the Parent/ Guardian you can quickly respond by clicking on the EdSmart Absentee Slip link within the body of the notification and submitting the form or contacting the school office on 6327 6333 or sending a note explaining the absence.
