Playground Survey
Parents, students and staff were all consulted on equipment and roles in the school playground. There was considerable consistency between parents, students and staff about how they saw the playground. The full collated report is below and the student council will start working on some of the ideas while others will be included in the property team's planning.

Board of Trustees Uniform Survey 2011
The Russley School community has long been committed to a school uniform and our school uniform policy reflects that. Subsequent consultation has resulted in changes to the logo and provision of a seniors' jacket. To support parents' desire to have a uniform, the school has high expectations that students wear the uniform with pride and tries to balance this with a pragmatic approach. Accordingly the procedures that form part of the policy include expectations that no student is singled out for not wearing a uniform, sunhats are compulsory in terms 1 and 4 and students are encouraged through positive recognition to wear their uniform.

Parent responses to the Russley School Web survey on Earthquakes.
The survey was posted on the Russley School website from 23 March 2011 to 8 April 2011 and focussed on actions taken on the day of the February 22nd quake and during the weeks the school was closed. The overwhelming theme of the survey responses is one of praise, gratitude and thanks from parents towards the staff of Russley School for their actions both on the day of the February 22 earthquake, during the shutdown period, and when students returned to school. Comments focus on the calm professionalism of staff and the care shown towards both students and parents. Comments show that parents felt that the emergency situation was handled extremely competently with excellent communication via the School website. The website proved to be an invaluable service for most parents. There are comments offering praise to particular staff members and some offering practical suggestions for future improvements to procedures. Improvement suggestions focus on mass communication with parents, emergency supplies and school expectations of parents' action in an emergency situation. Overall parents felt that their children were well cared for and such is their faith in Russley School and its staff that they have no doubts that they would be safe - Tania Jones, Russley School Board of Trustees
