Riverside College

General information

Shortly after starting out in the rented premises of St Matthews Church of England it was clear that our School had a winning formula as there was much interest in our School and many enrollments followed after opening our doors. Quickly it became clear that we will not be able to stay in our humble rented premises for very long and a four year search for suitable land to build a modern, state-of –the-art school began.
After knocking on many doors and viewing many unsuitable sites, we came across two promising pieces of land on Burgundy Estate, Plattekloof. Not only were they the size we dreamt of but it also included already existing sporting facilities and beautifully landscaped areas. After much negotiation and deliberation a deal was signed.
We were moving to Burgundy Estate and construction on our new building to commence shortly. For the interim, a temporary school site has been set up on one of the properties with all the proper facilities of a normal school. Modular classrooms (ultra-modern “prefabs”) will be used until our expected occupancy of the new building in late 2013.
