Children’s issues
• School holidays for the state school children,
although Kindercare kindergarten continued.
• Two children are absent from school, one girl later
reported as trafficked, and another later to return
after medical issues with a sibling.
• Four new children entered the project, one boy and
three girls from divorced Vietnamese families. They
will enter kindergarten or grade 1 this coming term.
The only parent for one is a grandmother, and two of
them have an abusive step-father.

returned to the Riverkids project.
• Riverkids created three house teams (Bear, Elephant
and Rabbit) for chores.

Children’s issues
• All 4 children in Grade 3 have
passed their exams and can go to Grade 4 next school
term.
• Among the 22 children in Grade 1, 20 will go to
Grade 2 next school term. The other 2 will repeat
Grade 1 and get more help from Riverkids’ teachers.
• Among the 12 children regularly attending
kindergarten, 3 are ready for Grade 1 next year and
will switch to tuition with the other children during
the school holidays to prepare.
• No new children were added this month.
• We have space for up to 5-6 more children during
August, but then will be completely full.
