A message from the Principal and School Council
On behalf of our leadership team and the School Council, we have great pleasure in presenting our five-year strategic plan for the Glennie School.
ensures that our proven educational approach continues to pave the way for our graduates; as it has done for the past 110 years. The plan ensures that our education continues to be nurtured in the context of our Anglican Ethos . Our graduates understand the Christian way of living, the importance of giving back to our communities and strive for excellence in order to serve others for a greater good. While this strategy provides us with strong direction, we also recognise that implementing a plan is a dynamic process that needs to keep pace with an evolving world. As such, we will continually review, assess and improve on initiatives as the years progress; ensuring that at all times each action benefits our students. This five-year strategy is another step in the remarkable history of the Glennie School. It is a plan that seeks to bring together the hopes and aspirations of students, staff, parents and Alumni to realise future possibilities. We trust you will be as excited by the breadth of opportunities this strategic plan promises to deliver as we are, and look forward to working together to turn this vision into reality in the years to come.
This plan is the result of a thorough review of our operations combined with significant consultation with our community, current parents and Alumni. The strategy encapsulates the thinking of contemporary educational experts, the knowledge of the broader Glennie community, and the many lessons we have learnt from one of the most challenging years in education during 2020. The aim of this plan is to build on our strong educational platform and to guide our future growth and development as one of Australia’s most well respected, Anglican girls’ school. Importantly, it will introduce a contemporary perspective across all of our operations, enabling us to adapt, change and evolve in the years ahead while also reaffirming our heritage and proud tradition. The strategy focuses on a range of initiatives that will be implemented across four strategic areas: Educational Excellence, Character Development, Connected Community and Future Sustainability. To support the plan, we have introduced a set of Guiding Principles that underpins its implementation. While our values of Courage, Respect, Integrity and Compassion remain at the foundational heart of our school, the Guiding Principles will help lead the way in our realisation of this new and ambitious plan. Also inherent in the plan is the strengthening of four distinctives that truly make The Glennie School unique. The strategy strengthens our ability to deliver a uniquely personalised learning approach that enables our graduates to reach their full individual potential. It develops the professional skills of our staff who are experts in educating confident, empowered young women, and
Yours sincerely
