About us
Glen Huntly Primary is proud of providing a caring, engaging and challenging learning environment for all of our students, which is enabling them to reach their full potential, become life-long learners and effective and respectful citizens in a global world.
The dedicated and motivated teachers are inspired and passionate and place high value on having a major positive effect on all students and providing individualised differentiated learning for each student.
Glen Huntly Primary School is committed to the Real Schools program, which implements Restorative Practices across the school, to maximise student engagement and wellbeing and social justice approaches.
Our very high academic achievement in Literacy and Numeracy (35th in the state of Victoria in 2023), is attributable to our teaching and learning pedagogy and engaging curriculum.
All teachers comprehensively determine all students’ individual prior knowledge and readiness to learn, whilst developing a culture of high expectations, by modelling and setting challenging and personalised learning goals.
The spacious, well-maintained grounds include a large grass oval, gardens, basketball court, soccer ground and three playgrounds.
The school buildings include a large indoor gym with 150 stadium seating, a music room, science room, art studio, STEM room, Japanese room, large library, a kitchen for cooking lessons and a large, dedicated space for our Before and After School Hours Program.
All the classrooms at Glen Huntly are modern with air conditioner and large digital screens. We do not have open planned shared classrooms, but instead the traditional style classrooms which our students find are quieter with less distractions.
An exemplary Visual and Performing Arts program is well established with an annual Art Show exhibition and school concert, proudly showcasing all student work and artistic endeavours. The addition of our school choir and resident student rock band, The Party Hats has been a wonderful experience for all involved.
All students have one hour a week of Art, Music Japanese, Science, Physical Education (PE) and library. In addition, cooking classes occur each term in our kitchen.
Our environmental sustainability program incorporates a cooking program, STEM room, gardening club, our pet blue tongue lizard, Bluey, caring for our four hens and a number of waste-wise initiatives.
The parent community is exceptional and proactively involved in a positive and valued partnership, with the Glen Huntly Parents Association, Buildings and Grounds and Fete committees, being very active contributors to the life and functions of the school.
We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Victoria and pay respect to the ongoing living cultures of First Peoples.
