Glengala PS School Vision – ‘PROUD’
Over the year we’ve been working on our school Vision. We believe keeping our Vision simple and linked to a key word will make it more ‘lived’, known and owned by all members of our community.
We have decided to link our Vision to the word PROUD, this links to our historically used #GlengalaPROUD from our work with students, social media and school signage. The school Vision qualities will not replace our 3 long established school Values of Respect, Responsibility & Safety. Staff have generated a list of qualities linked to each letter of PROUD. ‘R’ will be represented by the word Resilient. All other letters have options listed below. Please sign in to your Compass Portal to find the link to our School Vision Survey. If you require support to access your Compass Portal please contact the office admin team who will be happy to help you out. The survey will remain open until the end of the 2018 school year. We will launch ‘PROUD’ at the start of the 2019 school year.
Volunteers Thank You Morning Tea – 14th December
We are extremely fortunate to have such a supportive community that are willing to help out in so many ways.

Carols Evening – 17th December
Come along and join us for our last and often biggest whole school event for the year – our Carols Evening. Bring your rug & small beach chairs along with your singing voices and enjoy a lovely, low key end of year celebration with the school community. A variety of food and drinks along with Raffles Tickets and some Christmas gifts will be on sale from 5pm, with Carols commencing at approximately 6pm.
Sweat Day Timetable
With today and tomorrows taste of summer I thought it was a good chance to let the community know that when the weather is hot we will enact our Sweat Day timetable (same as wet day timetable). We use the SunSmart guide, along with advice from the Department of Education when making the decision to enact the Sweat Day timetable. Based on this, when the temperature reaches 35 or above we call students inside. We are fortunate to have air conditioned spaces for our students and staff.
