Dear Parents, Caregivers and Students
Welcome to the Glenfield Intermediate School website.
Our school was established in 1972 and maintains a special place within the Glenfield community.
We have a proven record of supporting students with academic learning while also providing outstanding sporting and cultural opportunities.
Glenfield Intermediate School is dedicated to catering to the social and emotional needs of students within a group setting and encouraging innovation in curriculum and instruction. Our students develop valuable skills that enable them to become independent learners with the capability to take responsibility for their own education. We provide students the opportunity to develop communication skills, build friendships and expand on what was learnt in their primary years.
Our learning community provides our students with:
- curriculum that is relevant, challenging, integrative and exploratory
- multiple learning and teaching approaches that respond to their diversity
- assessment programmes that evaluate the standard of teaching as well as students learning
- organisational structures that support meaningful relationships and learning
- school-wide efforts and policies that foster health, wellness and safety
- multi faceted guidance and support services
We are focused on ensuring our students:
- establish a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy
- have a depth of understanding in a broad range of actionable knowledge
- develop a repertoire of higher level thinking skills and dispositions
- develop effective social and cooperative skills
- develop attitudes, values and skills to pursue life long learning and prepare themselves for the world of tomorrow
- gain a strong sense of cultural identity, belonging, contribution and well-being
- are active participants in their own learning
- be able to take risks in a caring environment
- value their own skills, achievements and abilities
Glenfield Intermediate School acknowledges the importance of engaging families in the education of their young adolescents through supporting the learning process, both at home and school.
We look forward to meeting you and your family. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the school or make an appointment to see me.
