Spring in the School Garden

Our students are enjoying watching all their hard work tending to our school garden produce beautiful vegetables, flowers and fruit. Look at our snap peas, radish and lettuce! 

Summer Uniforms

With the onset of warmer weather students are able to begin wearing Summer uniforms. 

Please ensure that students are able to take off layers of clothing as the weather warms through the day. It is compulsory that students wear hats on our playgrounds. 

Book Week 

Thanks to our families for your support with Book Week Costumes and attending our parades.

Please enjoy photos of our teams of teachers.  

MindQuest at Glenwood High School

On Saturday and Sunday 7 & 8 November, the NSW Talent Enrichment Weekend MindQuest will be held for primary students from Year 1-6 at Glenwood High School. These include gifted and high potential students, gifted underachievers and students with above average ability with a special interest.  Students will have an opportunity to participate in over 33 exciting, fast paced courses in the two day program.  They include courses in chemistry, earth sciences, drama, lego robotics, writing and much, much more. Many of these highly successful courses have been run in the past and students' evaluations suggest that they have been challenged and enriched by the experience.  The cost of the weekend is $250 (including GST).  

MindQuest is now enrolling on line at mindquest.net.au

Brochures are available at the front office.

MindQuest – June 2026

In June, some students from Carlingford West attended various workshops delivered by MindQuest.

We were sent three achievement certificates. Only one or two students are chosen by the course leader each time for their excellent contribution to the program and being wonderful ambassadors for their school.

Congratulations to Lachlan, 1L, ‘Lachlan is a quick thinker who loves solving puzzles and seeing patterns.’

Congratulations to Addison, 4B for ‘Demonstrating academic excellence’

Congratulations to Elijah, 5A, for ‘Demonstrating a depth of knowledge and ability to synthesise different information and reach conclusions.’
