Riverside School
Riverside turns 25 years old!
We had a fun day full of activities at the end of August to celebrate. We sang and danced to live music, pedalled some boats, played footabll and darts, had our pictures taken with our therapy dog, Potter and ate some wonderful cake. There were lots of lovely memories shared amongst families, staff and pupils - both old and new alike. Thank you to all the brilliant companies that provided activites for our event. A special thank you to our local Mayor, Neil Kelly for Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough who joined us and to all of our past and present Board of Governors, pupils and staff for joining us too. Here is to the next 25 years!
