WELCOME TO THE ANANDA MARGA RIVER SCHOOL
The Ananda Marga River School is a community of learning, including students from Kindy to Year 7, teachers, administrators & parents.
The River School opened in 1995 with 23 students. Today we have over 200 students and 36 staff members.
Children who attended a Preschool at this site previously came up with the school’s name while playing in beautiful Bridge Creek that runs through the property. They called it the “Wet and Wild River School.”
Families
The Primary School is divided into eight ‘family’ classrooms some of which include multi-age groupings.
- Sugar Gliders (Prep year)
- Lillipillies (year 1)
- Gumnuts (year 2
- Kingfishers (year 3)
- Currawongs (year 4)
- Regents (year 5)
- Silky Oaks (year 6) and
- Red Cedars (years 7)
Many activities in the school are collective, with mixtures of ages, encouraging unity. The mixing of ages helps older students learn leadership and responsibility, whilst young children benefit from the guidance and help of the older children.
