A safe and supportive school environment

Nestled amongst shady gum trees at the top end of town, Glennie Heights has the added advantage of being the smallest state school in the Warwick city zone, providing a positive and intimate learning environment that focuses on student needs.

Caring and professional staff support the often emotional and daunting experience of sending your child to school. From Day 1, overseeing their journey and instilling family values, and respect for others and the environment, along with lifelong learning aspirations.

“Glennie Heights State School has wonderful classroom facilities where students and teachers benefit from the assistance of a full-time teacher aides” Principal Paul O’Mara said.

The school’s vision is ‘Aim for the Highest’, proudly placing a huge emphasis on the emotional and social growth of not only students but all who are involved in our community.

“Students are taught to focus on the ‘five keys to success’: persistence, organisation, getting along, emotional resilience and confidence as part of the nationally recognized Program Achieve – You Can Do It” Mr O’Mara said.

“This positive behaviour strategy has been operating at Glennie Heights State School since 2006.”

While a small school numbers-wise, Glennie Heights State School boasts an impressive array of resources and innovative programs catering to all activity levels and age groups.

With expansive grounds including two ovals, a covered tennis/netball court, modern classrooms with interactive whiteboards, a technology lab, a performing arts hall, a library and several age-appropriate fixed playground areas, students can let their legs and imaginations run wild.

At Glennie Heights State School…You Can Do It.
