The Riverside Public School
The Riverside Public School was founded in 1885. The buildings, which are of wood and iron, stand on a section of an acre and a-half, and comprise a schoolroom, a four-roomed cottage for the teacher, and shelter-sheds. There is accommodation for forty-eight children. In 1904 there were thirty names on the roll, with an average attendance of twenty-four.
