Our School Vision
Russell Vale Public School values every student and every family.
The staff is committed to ensuring that each child reaches their potential and become successful learners, confident and creative individuals and active and informed citizens.
Russell Vale promotes an education that includes the intellectual, physical, social, emotional, moral, spiritual and aesthetic development of its students through the provision of quality, engaging, teaching and learning programs.
Partnerships between students, parents, carers and families and the broader community are fostered and bring mutual benefits.
Our commitment to 21st Century Learning
Russell Vale Public School's commitment to 21st Century Learning is about using technology to take learning and achievement to levels that weren't previously possible in the traditional classroom.
The school's curriculum embeds the effective use technology to support learning. Teachers and students are focused on capturing new and innovative ideas and engaging in challenging and interesting learning situations. This learning is about being more open to new ideas and challenges, having the capacity to solve a range of problems, and being able to apply knowledge, skills and understanding to new situations and come to personal realisations.
The aim of our BYOD program is to foster the 4 C's: creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking (problem solving). We aim to develop information, media and technology skills as well as learning and innovation skills suitable for a future as global citizens.

School Plan
Rationale
The centrally driven and supported model for the supply of technology resources in education is no longer a model that can meet the demands of teachers and students. Russell Vale Public School values the rich learning experiences that tightly integrated interactions with technology brings. The promotion and advancement of this integration is core to the school's educational philosophies.
By facilitating Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Russell Vale Public School empowers its students and gives them direct involvement in the way they use technology in their learning. At the same time, BYOD enables teachers to build on their experiences in the previous centrally-delivered model and adapt to this new BYOD environment without losing the core technological capabilities on which they have been able to rely.
At Russell Vale Public School we believe:
- All students learn differently
- Redefining tasks using technology is essential for developing the skills of 21st century learners
- Ongoing professional learning for teachers is essential
- Technology is a tool with a place and purpose
- Technology is not used to replace successful methods teachers use, it is a supplementary tool that allows global connection
- Our students' futures are dependent on being digitally literate global citizens.
Students at Russell Vale Public school will use technology for:
- Researching topics to be covered in class
- Reflecting on their learning using class and individual blogs or webpages
- Collaboration using Google Apps for Education
- Developing critical thinking skills by accessing a wide variety or sources and information
- Accessing and exploring the benefits and uses of a variety of media types including: animation, concept and mind mapping, digital video and image creation, drawing and painting, interactive curricular resources, logic and problem-solving, presentation and multimedia tools, sound and music making and typing tutors.
