Why Glennie?
At Glennie, we understand that each girl is an individual with her own distinctive strengths, challenges and interests. Our vibrant and supportive community empowers each girl to be proud of who she is, building the confidence and courage needed to reach her full potential and create her own future.
Glennie’s individualised learning environment, together with the best contemporary teaching methods and wellbeing programs, will offer your daughter the opportunity to develop her unique passions and talents, so that she can be All She Can Be.
Grounded by Christian values within the Anglican ethos, Glennie provides an all-round education from Kindergarten to Year 12 in a vibrant and welcoming community where girls thrive – intellectually, emotionally, culturally, physically and spiritually.
At Glennie, you can be confident your daughter will receive the personal attention she needs to grow into a considerate young woman of substance. Our school is large enough to offer a broad curriculum, yet small enough that every girl is treated as an individual.
Our dynamic learning environment and diverse co-curricular program will inspire your daughter to achieve beyond what she thought she was capable of.
Glennie girls are known for their compassion, confidence and integrity; characteristics which they display with pride. Throughout her time at Glennie, your daughter will be encouraged to make a positive contribution to the world she lives in and will be supported and encouraged every step of the way by highly professional, passionate and caring staff.
The Glennie Distinctive
Established in 1908, the Glennie School pioneered and is now recognised as one of Australia’s leading Anglican girls’ day and boarding schools. As we enter the next decade, Glennie will continue to be distinguished by four characteristics:
- Anglican ethos

Building and nurturing each student’s personal character, in addition to achieving academic excellence, will remain cornerstones of our approach to educating and empowering young women. The Glennie School aspires for its graduates to be:
