Junior School News

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the 2024 academic year at Glenroy College! As we embark on this new journey together, I am filled with optimism and excitement for what lies ahead. Our school is buzzing with anticipation, ready to welcome back familiar faces and embrace new ones, especially our Year 7 students.

Ready to Learn

At Glenroy College, we believe in equipping our students with all the tools they need to succeed from day one. Understanding the importance of being prepared, we offer "Ready to Learn" stationary packs available for purchase at the general office. These packs contain essential items to ensure that every student is well-prepared for their classes, fostering an environment where learning can thrive from the very beginning.

Year 7 Orientation Camp at Camp Rumbug

Our Year 7 students have an exciting journey ahead, starting with the amazing orientation camp at Camp Rumbug. This camp is not just an adventure; it's a cornerstone of our welcoming process, helping our newest members to bond, learn about our school values, and transition smoothly into high school life. It promises to be an unforgettable experience that sets the tone for their time at Glenroy College.

The Return of the Swimming Carnival

This year marks the eagerly awaited return of the Glenroy College Swimming Carnival, an event that has been on hiatus for several years. Scheduled for the 8th of March, the carnival is a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their talents, engage in healthy competition, and strengthen school spirit. We are thrilled to bring back this beloved tradition and look forward to seeing our students make a splash!

A Strong Start to the Year

We have had a fantastic start to the year, particularly with our students in Years 7-9. Their readiness to learn and embrace our college values - achievement, integrity, respect, and teamwork - has been commendable. Students demonstrating these values have been awarded Glenroy Gold Cards, a testament to their positive start and commitment to excellence.

As we move forward, our pride in our students and our commitment to their education and well-being remains unwavering. Glenroy College is more than just a school; it's a community where every student is valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
