Taking pride in our school community, and developing a positive environment lies at the heart of The Russell School.

A place of learning where individuals strive to achieve their full potential,

It is our ambition that The Russell School children will grow into well rounded and responsible individuals, committed to being life long learners in all aspects of their lives.

Our learners are encouraged to be healthy risk takers, confident in the knowledge that this is essential to move their learning forward.

We are all preparing for a journey into unknown territory environmentally and technologically.

As educators we endeavour to provide our children with the skills, knowledge and understanding to ‘pack the right things’ necessary to successfully manage their futures.
