Stand Tall

We have a vision that all our children will leave Little River School proud and confident in who they are. Confident because they have the academic skills to choose what they want to do, and confident in their relationships with people so they can adjust to any educational situation.

Little River School is a great place to be. We believe the children get an excellent grounding at our school which enables them to meet with success and develop skills needed for life long learning.

Latest Notices

Toys at School
5 Aug 2026

 

We kindly request that all students leave their personal toys, action figures, ooshies and trading cards at home. While we love seeing children play together, bringing toys to school has led to a few challenges. Trading among students often results in "trader's remorse" and hurt feelings when someone regrets a deal after the fact. Additionally, toys can cause confusion over personal ownership, making it difficult for teachers and students to keep track of lost or misplaced items. 

To help keep our focus on learning and to prevent precious belongings from being lost, damaged, or swapped, please make sure all toys remain safely at home.

We appreciate your support with this.

Request from Years 6 and 7 Technology
22 Jul 2026

Our years six and seven students are working on a technology project and we need your help please.

They have been given this brief:"How might we design a greenhouse structure that keeps plants warm and protected, using only recycled plastic bottles and reclaimed materials?"

So please, we are after plastic bottles and any surplus timber, such as 50x50, 100x50, etc, that you might have lying around. 

Many thanks from the students and Eleanor
