Teaching ServiceRiverstone High School is a diverse and inclusive community that is committed to quality teaching, learning, and wellbeing. Our core focus is on extending the resilience and aspirations of our students so that they are prepared for a complex and dynamic world. We are committed to supporting, encouraging, and engaging every member of our school community to thrive through a culture of high expectations. Riverstone High School is situated on Dharug land and is an integral part of the Riverstone community.

With a current enrolment of 760 students and a staff of 90, the school is experiencing substantial growth as residential developments expand within the North West Growth Area.

These relationships ensure continuity of learning and provide a smooth transition for students starting their high school journey. With the rapid growth in the area, we welcome and support new families to the Riverstone High School community throughout the year.
