Important update: Communication channels

From Friday 23rd October 2026 we will no longer be using Facebook to communicate news and updates from Lemington Riverside.

Instead, all communication will come through our internal apps (See Saw and Greenhouse Schools) and via our school website.

If you are a current parent/carer, we would advise you download SeeSaw and Greenhouse Schools before the 23rd October so that you continue to receive regular updates from school. If you need a new SeeSaw log-in

Thank you!
