Welcome to another year at Riverdale School! I'm really excited about a fresh, new year, a different year level and some bright new faces.
Room 12 will be a class for thinking, responsible and creative people this year. Our overall class goals will be to become reflective, self-directed learners this year. We will be spending some weeks exploring what this means and I'm sure the students will have more to share about this as the days go by.
I will be using this blog as our launching pad for online learning and as a way to connect with all those who support our students outside the classroom - at home and abroad. If you are reading this on a printable copy the URL address is:

This would be a great site to link as a favourite or bookmark. We hope that you visit it regularly.
Some nuts and bolts detail:
- Stationary is not required until week 2
- Our swimming days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and we have a team swimming day on Friday.
- Our school Duathlon will be in week 3, 21 February. You could be training for that now!
- My school email is mherring@riverdale.school.nz Please contact me with any questions or quiries. I am always here to talk to before and after school, unless I have a duty or meeting. I always value the time to speak with caregivers and maintain that link with the students at home.
I hope you're looking forward to a fantastic year - as much as I am!
Mr Herring
