Our Principal and Staff

Our professional, university-educated teachers encourage students to develop a love of learning and a desire to succeed.  They maintain the highest integrity and concern for your child's wellbeing.

The principal is responsible for the educational leadership and management of our school.  If you would like to speak to the principal, please contact our office to make an appointment. Our school administrative staff can answer inquiries or direct you to the appropriate staff member for assistance.

Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a respectful, caring learning environment, where everyone can succeed.

Welcome from our principal

Welcome to Glendore!

Our vision, Excellence for Everyone, means every child is known, valued and challenged to grow. We hold high expectations for all students and provide the teaching, support and opportunities they need to succeed.

Our teachers use evidence-informed, explicit teaching to build strong foundations, check understanding and respond to what each student needs next. Through trauma-informed care, strong relationships and close partnerships with families, we create a school community where every child feels safe, connected and proud to belong.

We celebrate our students and value our community, and our staff are proud to be the difference.
