Russell Vale Public School
Russell Vale Public School is a personal, family-oriented, community-focussed primary school located within picturesque parklands in the northern suburbs of Wollongong. Established in 1954, it has a proud tradition of academic, cultural, creative and sporting programs and achievements. Enrolments are currently at 261 students structured into 11 classes with 27 EAL/D and 10 Aboriginal students. The teaching staff are experienced and work collaboratively to set high expectations for all students. A focus on explicit and effective teaching practices, coupled with a differentiated curriculum that is research and evidence-based drives student improvement. Embedded reflection on practice and engagement in ongoing high impact professional learning is integral to our pursuit of quality teaching practices. There is a strong involvement of our supportive parent community, including an active and interested Parents and Citizens' Association and the Fathers of Russell Vale Kids (FORKS). We proudly deliver quality public education for the children and families we serve.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
