At Russell Island State School we seek to inspire in every student the desire to be the best he or she can be and embrace learning throughout life. We challenge them to, rethink and innovate. We are a school of value for now and for the future. We aim for e a proud and professional, high performing and committed educational community. Our curriculum is designed to engage young minds and provide a continuity of learning experiences through the 8 years of schooling from Prep to Year 7. We have implemented a new Spelling and Mathematics Program in 2009 and will implement a new Writing and Grammar Program in 2010. It is our belief that education is the responsibility of teachers, students and parents. We therefore seek to work together in many valuable ways to provide the best possible educational outcomes for your child. Parent support, whether as a volunteer parent assisting in classrooms, the Tuckshop, with the Breakfast Club, Library or at special activities and sporting events, or as a member of our Parents and Citizens Association, is always very welcome and greatly appreciated. We encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities provided to visit the school and actively share in your child's education.
