Student Vision
Glenfield Intermediate School provides us with a range of learning opportunities and we are encouraged to apply ourselves and do our best. Our school believes that we are central to our own learning. Learning is a partnership between our teachers and us.
Our teachers have the necessary qualities to support our learning. These include being; helpful, understanding, kind, a good listener, firm and fair, knowledgeable, able to make learning fun and available to give quality time for each student. Teachers know what they are teaching, guide us with clear and co-constructed success criteria and they challenge us to reach our full potential. Teachers openly praise us for our achievements, display our work with pride and celebrate our learning through sharing and house assemblies. We get rewarded for our efforts and successes and the teachers value us by giving us time, caring for us and by remembering our achievements.
We get respect from our teachers and we are treated equally among our peers. Our teachers explain things well, are approachable and they never give up on us. Our teachers help us realise our mistakes and we trust them to teach us what we need to know for our future.
We believe that the interpersonal skills we learn through working in effective group situations are necessary for the future. We like to work towards exemplars, ask questions, have clear explanations from our teachers and learn in a motivational and tidy environment. Teachers meet our learning needs by understanding and encouraging us and incorporating our cultures into the classroom. They adjust learning experiences for individual students to ensure they can access the opportunities available. This can be as simple as explaining things with easier words. Our teachers listen to us, respect our ideas and value our input to the teaching and learning process. Our teachers allow us to develop the rules of the classroom by co-constructing a class promise.
We aspire to learning subjects that will prepare us for the future, enable us to use our imagination and work with others. Our school has a BYOD policy which gives us the opportunity to use technology purposefully in everything that we do. Developing independent skills is also important and we are provided with many opportunities to develop them.
Our forecast for the future is bright. We respect the importance of education and believe that if we work hard, make mistakes and challenge ourselves we will have fulfilling futures.

Student Expectations
At Glenfield Intermediate, student progress and achievement is the focus of everything we do. In order to be successful learners, students must come to school ready and able to learn, and the school environment must be safe for all. At the beginning of each year in the first school assembly, we share our expectations around student conduct with all of our students.
High expectations are also incorporated in the way our students present themselves and we are very grateful to our parents and caregivers who support us in ensuring that our students are able to wear the Glenfield Intermediate uniform with pride.
