Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Rivermount College!

Our College is a flourishing community, with a warm and family focused environment where students are welcomed and accepted as unique individuals, created in the image of God and encouraged to realise their potential within.

At Rivermount College we our committed to educational excellence from Kindy to Year 12 with the core values of Perseverance, Integrity and Excellence, central to our motto.

Teaching and learning at Rivermount is more than just words; it is lived and manifested throughout our community enabling us to nurture the intellectual, spiritual, physical, social, emotional, ethical, and cultural development of each student.

As a school community, with a genuine Christian ethos, we believe that a heartfelt hope defines our educational purpose. It shapes everything we do, guiding students to become young people of integrity, purpose, and compassion, ready to positively impact our global society.

We pride ourselves on four signature practices that guide our approach to education:

• a sincere and genuine Christian identity
• calm, connected and engaging learning spaces
• a commitment to deepening learning through quality pedagogy
• connecting community through genuine partnerships

Our staff are deeply committed to creating an inclusive learning environment, where every student is heard, valued, and challenged. This is supported by an extensive wellbeing program where students experience a comprehensive pastoral care program focused on building resilience, independence, and a strong sense of belonging.

Delivering a holistic educational experience is fundamental to the positive development of all young people and our academic program is supported by vibrant and extensive cocurricular opportunities in sport, music and the performing arts.

It is a privilege to lead this extraordinary community, and I encourage families to visit our beautiful campus and experience the genuine spirit and the rich array of opportunities on offer. It is my strong belief that when you join our community, you become partners with us in your child’s future. As we walk this journey together, we are united in our commitment to nurture confident, compassionate learners who grow in faith and wisdom.

Warm regards

Erik Hofsink
