Its Student Council is elected by the students, with four representatives in Grades 9–11 and five representatives in Grade 12, and is sponsored by social studies teacher Mr. Ben Lepore.
In addition, Riverside Secondary offers a variety of clubs, sports teams, and volunteering opportunities to their students, which participate in many provincial and community events.
