At School

At Glenealy School, we strive to provide our students with an education that is aimed at developing internationally minded life-long learners. Guided, purposeful inquiry is at the heart of our transdiciplinary curriculum model. The Primary Years Programme is a concept-driven curriculum that incorporates concepts, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and student action in order to provide students with the opportunity to gain significant and relevant knowledge; develop an understanding of the world around them. 
 The Learner Profile is at the heart of the Primary Years Programme
I am an Inquirer: I enjoy learning, ask questions and look for answers to my questions. I am Knowledgeable: I can explore concepts, ideas and issues that have local and global significance. I am a Thinker: I take initiative in applying thinking skills critically and creatively to recognize and solve problems. I am a Communicator: I understand and express my ideas confidently in more than one language. I can use a range of modes of communication. I am Principled: I take responsibility for my own actions and the consequences that accompany them. I am Open-minded: I understand and appreciate different cultures and personal histories. I am Caring: I respect the needs and feelings of others. I am a Risk-taker: I am willing to explore new roles, ideas and strategies even if I am scared. I am Balanced: I understand the importance of intellectual, physical and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being for themselves and others. I am Reflective: I think about my own learning and experience. I can assess and understand my strengths and limitations in order to set targets for improvement.
Glenealy's Action Wall At Glenealy, we aim to develop internationally-minded life long learners who are motivated to take action as a consequence of their learning and life experiences. Student action can be thought of as giving children the opportunity to think about their own learning and make the decision to do something about it. It can be as small as minute, but can last a lifetime. Help us continue to inspire action at home by sharing what your child has done as a result of his or her learning by clicking the link below!
