About the school

Glenroi Heights Public School is located in the rural city of Orange and serves the Glenroi community. The school comprises nine mainstream classes and six classes for students with special needs, with approximately 40% of students identifying as Aboriginal. The institution integrates various interagency services, including a School as Community Centre and a dedicated Aboriginal family worker, fostering a strong connection within the community.

Leadership and Education Approach

In recent years, the Principal has facilitated a significant change process based on action research and data analysis. The school adopts a whole-school approach emphasising quality processes, collaborative planning, and positive relationships. Key elements of the school's strategy include leadership at all levels, reorganisation based on explicit planning, and the development of a culture of high expectations. This collaborative environment aims to enhance outcomes for all students, ensuring that every child has access to high-quality education.

Fire Recovery and Facilities

In late 2022, the school's administration building suffered severe damage due to fire, prompting the relocation of the staff room, administration offices, and library to temporary facilities. A project for a new administrative building is currently underway to restore the facilities.

Community Engagement

Glenroi Heights Public School prides itself on being a friendly and inclusive environment where every student feels safe and is encouraged to thrive academically and socially. The school is committed to collaborating with families to tailor educational plans that support each student's individual learning needs, establishing a community that values diversity and engagement.

Mission

At Glenroi Heights Public School we are Strong, Smart and Proud learners who are respectful, responsible and safe.
