Excitement is building as we count down to this year’s Family Fair. Our Class 4 Fair Coordinators, Nick Van-Bell, Huw Morris, Sylvia Robinson, Eva Dellow, Amelia Axton and Ben Cunnington, together with the wider Class 4 parent community and GPA, are putting the finishing touches on what promises to be a wonderful day celebrating the spirit of Glenaeon.
The Fair is one of the highlights of our school year, bringing together the qualities we value most: community, connection and a sense of belonging. We warmly encourage all Glenaeon families to give some time on the day so the event can run smoothly. You can add your name to the volunteers list here. Every helping hand makes a difference.
Around the School
Last Friday, we welcomed our incoming Year 7 students to Middle Cove for Orientation Day. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to meet new classmates, explore the campus and begin looking ahead to the exciting journey that awaits them next year.
Today, all three Glenaeon campuses marked World Teachers’ Day with morning tea and messages of appreciation for our staff. This day recognises the dedication of teachers and all those who contribute to the learning, growth and wellbeing of young people. Thank you to each and every member of our team.
We also recently celebrated the Year 8 Project Showcase, where students presented the culmination of months of independent research, creativity and perseverance. Families gathered in Sylvia Brose Hall to view an impressive range of projects and witness the depth of learning that can emerge when students are supported by passionate teachers, expert mentors and engaged families. Congratulations to all involved.
Class 1, 2027
On Wednesday, current Kindergarten families were informed that Lucy Armstrong will be the Class 1 teacher for 2027. While this news remains under wraps for our Kindergarten students a little longer, we are delighted to share it with the adult community.
Lucy is a highly respected and experienced Steiner educator whose contributions to Glenaeon have spanned roles as Class Teacher, Primary Librarian and Primary Coordinator. After completing a six-year class cycle in 2024 and currently leading the present Class 6, Lucy is looking forward to beginning a new Class Teacher journey in 2027.
There are still a small number of places available in Class 1 for next year. If you know of families who may be interested in joining our community, please encourage them to contact enrolments@glenaeon.nsw.edu.au
Enjoy the weekend,
