Sydney Russell School

Rush of the Titans
As the numbers multiply, the noise volume rises. The canteen area rapidly fills with hundreds of children; in the space immediately outside there are hundreds more, and round the corner in the playground beyond there are hundreds more again, laughing, chatting, holding hands, playing football. (The Guardian)

Listening
Listening is a skill. Our students are encouraged to listen closely to what others are really saying and contribute to their learning.
Independence
Our students are encouraged to be their own learning coach. We develop their logical and rational skills and help them know themselves as learners.
