Glenroi Heights Public School
Glenroi Heights Public school is in the rural city of Orange. The school sits in the Glenroi community and is made up of 9 mainstream classes and 6 classes for students with special needs. Approximately 40% of our students identify as Aboriginal. Interagency services operate as an integral part of our school community. A School as Community Centre, an Aboriginal family worker, Brighter Futures and the Smith family are located within the school. In the last five years the Principal has lead a change process within the school and its community based on action research and Data analysis. The school is focussed on a whole-school approach with quality processes, collaborative planning, professional learning and positive relationships. The key elements are leadership at all levels, school reorganisation based on explicit planning and data, prior to school transitions, pedagogy and quality teaching, developing a school culture of high expectations and linking the school with the community as the lead agency in meeting needs and developing networks. Our direction and vision is embedded and shared within our learning community to improve outcomes for every student.
