Location Profile Riverbend Primary School is located at the intersection of Communal Road and Tathra Road in Wyndham Vale, 40kms from Melbourne, in the rapidly growing City of Wyndham.

Riverbend Primary School is a supported inclusion school, designed to support a higher number of students with disabilities than a typical mainstream school. Supported inclusion schools allow more students, regardless of ability, to attend their local neighbourhood school while receiving the necessary support and facilities to achieve their best. All students benefit when children of various abilities and backgrounds learn together in an inclusive education setting. Riverbend Primary School provides a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
At Riverbend Primary School, we ensure that our students are at the centre of everything we do. We create a learning community that values diversity, inclusion, and high expectations for all students, resulting in excellence for everyone. Our collective responsibility is to ensure that our students leave our school as well-rounded, critical, and creative thinkers who value lifelong learning and who are resilient, respectful, and kind citizens.
