Principal's Welcome
Here at Glen Forrest Primary School, we focus on current research around how children learn best, as well as the use of evidence-based and data-driven teaching practice. We are guided by the use of our Positive Behaviour Support values, which underpins our school culture. We are "Proud to Belong" to a supportive and active community and strive for continuous reflection and improvement.

About our school
We were first established in 1891 under the name Smiths Mill and then renamed in 1915 as Glen Forrest Primary School. We cater for almost 200 local families and have close binds to our community, educating local students for over 125 years.
At Glen Forrest Primary School our vision is to develop a teaching and learning environment to enable all of our students to reach their individual potential and be healthy and supported.
We aim to provide a positive and supportive learning environment to foster opportunities for success and leadership. Through contemporary and high quality teaching practice, we will work together with the community to strive for excellence.
We believe in constant reflection and subsequent action to provide the best possible education for our students.
Our motto is 'Proud To Belong'.
