“Glen The Roo”: Possible GWPS Mascot?

Creating Glen the Roo was no simple task. It began as a small idea that grew into this masterpiece. Our group was determined to create a mascot that truly embodied the meaning of Glen Waverley Primary School. We wanted a unique mascot that showed GWPS’s core values.

The journey to bring Glen the Roo to life was filled with laughter, brainstorming sessions, and a few challenges along the way. Each obstacle we faced only strengthened our ideas and taught us different skills like persistence. We remained focused and engaged in the task to take us to the final stage.

It first started with a few keywords that describe our school: 

• Resourceful, as our school is very resourceful in our learning and teaches us right.
• Diverse, as our school is full of many cultures from Indian to Chinese to Arabic. We are all different and that’s what makes us unique and overall happy and different.
• Our last keyword was academic as our scores are very high and it can take us to new possibilities we don’t even know about.

Then it transformed into a character that embodied all of these traits: Glen the Roo. He is sporty, academic, kind, and supportive. He embodies everything that a good friend should be. He isn’t just a mascot but he is a friend to all. He is what this school needs, a powerful supporter who can push people to new heights with heart.

Glen the Roo isn't just a mascot; it's a monument to show what we can achieve when we work together. With his vibrant colours and energetic stance, Glen represents the enthusiasm and spirit of our school community. Whether it's cheering at sports events or lending a paw during school activities, Glen is always ready to jump into action.

Now, we're reaching out to you, the Glen Waverly community, to help us take the final step.

A simple ballot with Glen the Roo's name is a vote for creativity, teamwork, and school pride.
