The Scott-Kilvert Hut in Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania is a memorial hut dedicated to the lives of Ewen Scott and David Kilvert, a teacher and student from Riverside High School, who died due to a blizzard whilst bushwalking in 1965. [6]

In May 2008, Riverside science teacher William Briginshaw was awarded Tasmania's Winifred Curtis Medal for his contributions to science education. [7]

In 2019 Riverside High received an extensive $12 million dollar redevelopment [8] which was officially opened in November 2020 by Jeremy Rockliff, Minister for Education and Training, and Tim Bullard, Secretary of Education. [9]
