Student Wellbeing and engagement

Vision Statement

Our Mantra

 'I am part of the team that inspires life long learning' 

Glendal Values

All of our school programs are based on the above beliefs and a balance between academic and social emotional learning. Our student well-being program focuses on empowering students and building school pride. Our aim is to develop healthy, happy and resilient students, who display behaviours and attitudes that reflect our school values.

We have renamed our House names, we now have:

Bradman ( Red) now Biik - country/land

Clarke ( yellow) now Wiinj- fire

Newcombe( blue) now Banjmin-rain

Wickham (green) now Murnmut-wind

Our students have many opportunities to demonstrate student voice, agency and leadership. Growth in this area results in a significant improvement in motivation, wellbeing and achievement.

 We have many programs that develop personal responsibility and collective teamwork. Our film production in Year 6,our Joint Environmental Mission group (JEM) and Student Representative Council (SRC) student leadership groups and our entertaining Year 2 production are examples of how we build student capacity, enabling them to present their own ideas, opinions, knowledge and experience.

We are a founder school of the JEM program and our sustainability and environment education program is highly successful.

All students are given opportunities to develop their leadership skills. Our buddies program for Foundation and Year 6 students nurtures care, kindness and friendships. Our School Captains, House and Specialist Captains have important roles and undertake extensive leadership training to teach them the skills required to contribute to areas of whole school decision making.

Our whole school wellbeing program is based on the 4R's - Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships ( the Department of Education program), mindfullness and many diverse wellbeing practices.
