Glen Innes Public School
Glen Innes Public School is situated in the NSW Northern Tablelands on the traditional land of the Ngoorabul people. Glen Innes is a rural community 100 km north of Armidale on the New England Highway. The major economic base for the community relies on sheep and cattle grazing. The school has a very stable staff and provides currently for 445 students from Kindergarten to Year 6. Students come to school from homes based in the township of Glen Innes, from rural holdings in the surrounding shire and from smaller villages, whose residents use Glen Innes as their major goods and services centre. Approximately 10% of the students identify as being of Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander background. The school has a major intake into Kindergarten. Year 3 will receive an intake from Glen Innes West Infants. The Year 6 students attend Glen Innes High School when they graduate from the school. The school was established in 1875. It features extensive grounds, a significant environmental creek area and a range of architectural styles from its oldest building, a former Presbyterian Church (1870) to the more modern technology-rich connected classrooms of the 21st century.
