School office open : Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th January
First day for children : Tuesday 31st January
We have two new teachers joining our school this term. They are: Mrs Lysandra Stuart (Year 5 & 6) and Miss Sarah Timms (Year 3 & 4). Both teachers are experienced and they bring wonderful strengths to our school.
We expect to begin this year with approx 230 children. This is about 40 children more than we started with in 2011.
This term we have lots of things happening. We have Tony Ryan coming from Australia to provide training for our teachers on January 25th. Tony is a world expert in providing children with thinking strategies and engaging pupils in learning. We have approx 60 teachers from schools around South Auckland joining us for this day.
Our focus for this term is Enviroschools. We will focus on developing a culture that cares for our school and planet. Glenbrook School has already received a Bronze Award for our Enviroschool's work but we want the meesage to spread throughout our community.
Additionally, we will all be working hard to develop strong friendships. We will be looking at our Roles, Rights and Responsibilities as members of Glenbrook School.
We also have our Senior School children attending their camp during week two of this term.
We look forward to a fantastic term. Make sure to check out our calendar of events. If you have any questions about our school then please do not hesitate to contact us.
