A place of community
Glennie is more than a school, it is a community
Students, staff, parents, families, friends, Foundation members and Glennie Old Girls are all part of a caring, supportive and active community, helping Glennie girls thrive and achieve in a safe and nurturing environment.
An engaging academic program presented by dedicated and motivated teachers forms the building blocks of Glennie’s success, but it is the strong sense of community that sets Glennie apart from other schools.
Through opportunities to work together with girls of all ages and backgrounds, your daughter will expand her leadership and social skills and develop fundamental values such as compassion, respect, empathy and tolerance.
Glennie graduates leave the School with more than just a top-class education. Every girl is equipped with the foundations to achieve her personal best and the moral compass to be All She Can Be.
The Glennie School is well supported by a very active parent community that plays an important role in the development and improvement of the School.
Regular opportunities are afforded to parents to provide feedback and suggestions for improvement through involvement in parent representative groups, surveys, forums, seminars and information evenings.
