Riverton is an attractive residential suburb 21 kms from Perth City and 15 kms from Fremantle. It is on the eastern boundary of Fremantle Education District.

Riverton Education Support Centre was established on the Riverton Primary School site in 2003. The Centre has its own Principal, Teachers, Education Assistants and a Registrar who share the facilities at Riverton Primary. The Centre currently has 25 students from years 1-7 with intellectual disabilities ranging from mild to severe. Some students also have autism or a physical disability.

In 2006 there are three classes with specialist staff delivering quality programs over the eight learning areas. Each student has an Individual Education Plan developed in collaboration with the students' parents. Each class typically has a Teacher and one or two Education Assistants depending on the students' needs.

Our staffing allocation is reviewed annually and is dependent on the nature and severity of students' disabilities. Students have access to speech therapy, occupational therapy and physiotherapy provided by Therapy Focus.

Locally the school site is referred to as Riverton Primary Campus to reflect the dual nature of the site and the consequent wide range of programs and facilities offered. We believe we offer the 'best of both worlds' to students with disabilities. While they are taught individualised functional academics in small groups, they integrate with their peers for music, phys ed. sport, excursions and assemblies. The junior class goes to year 1 classes for Big Book reading, art, news and drama, while the students in years 4-7 use the community as an extension of their classroom - learning real life skills where they will need to be used. Of course they also play with their peers at break times where important social skills are practised. Our programs emphasise life skills while developing independent work habits.
