We hosted the Interschool Athletics Carnival here at Riverton last week on Tuesday
and Thursday. Our students participated enthusiastically and worked really hard to
represent our school. The weather was fantastic and it was great to see a number
of parents coming along to support the students and enjoying the event. I am
pleased to report that our school did really well, placing third. Congratulations to all
our team members and of course to Mr Tomasevich for his work, being ably
supported by the hard working Mrs West, Mr Smeed, Mrs London and Mrs Hooper,
who all coordinated training and preparation leading up to the day as well as
supervising and organising on the day. I would also like to acknowledge the hard
work of our gardener, Mrs Dawn Wallis for her efforts in preparing the track and the
other areas. Go Rivo! Finally, thanks to the parents who were able to come along
and support the children last week. It was great to see so many parents,
grandparents and families at the school.
Our basketball players travelled to Lakeside in Bibra Lake yesterday to compete in
the Interschool Basketball competition. I was lucky enough to see a number of
games and was very impressed with the skills and endeavour displayed by our
students across all our teams. Their enthusiasm was rewarded with particularly
excellent performances by the senior and junior girls’ teams. Congratulations to all
the students involved and thank you to Mrs London and Mr Tomasevich for their
hard work in the lead up to, and on the day of the event. Thanks also to those
parents able to attend and to those who took a role in helping out with the teams.
It was wonderful to listen to the choir at the Senior Assembly on Friday morning as
they presented a few songs to the audience. The performance was enjoyed by
everyone and we thank Mr Davey and the choir for their work and preparation. The
choir are heading off later this term to perform at several outside venues and I wish
them well.

LAKESIDE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT Congratulations to all teams who participated in the Lakeside Basketball tournament. It was a great display of skill from all teams with one of the Future Stars Boys teams going through undefeated and with Jack (Room 18) winning MVP of the tournament. The All Stars Girls team went through the regular fixtures undefeated but unfortunately losing it in a tough match against Beechboro in the grand final. It was a great day and I can’t thank all the parent helpers enough because without you, the day wouldn’t have been such a success. FREMANTLE CUP FOOTBALL Due to unfortunate circumstances, Riverton Primary will not be able to participate in the Fremantle Cup this year. More information to come at Senior Sport for those who expressed their interest.
