Glen Aplin State School
School staff are committed to providing quality learning programs for all students. Being a small school we promote a multi-age class structure. Class organisation is flexible with whole school and special interest groupings occurring regularly. Teachers share their areas of interest and expertise across all year levels. Glen Aplin State School caters for Prep students in our Prep Facility.
Parents & Citizens Association
Parents are invited to participate in decision making. The P & C meet one Wednesday afternoon each month. This date is advertised in the newsletter. Great value is placed upon genuine collaborative decision making. To this end, a School Management Team, consisting of staff and parents, facilitates and coordinates strategic planning within the school. Regular communication is maintained through a comprehensive weekly newsletter, regular student reporting, staff meetings, P & C meetings and committee meetings.
Attendance and participation at P & C meetings is welcome and encouraged.
Facilities
Glen Aplin is a well resourced school. In 2012, we have a moved into our new Resource Centre building containing our library and offices. Other facilities include a multi-purpose court, two ovals, a cricket pitch, a netball court and an ‘Ausplay’ adventure playground. Involvement in sport is highly valued by staff and parents. Parents assist the development of the school by volunteering to help with classroom support, gardening, tuckshop, working bees and fund raising.
The school actively promotes learning technology resulting in increasing competence by students and staff.
Excursions & Competitions
Glen Aplin State School organises focused excursions to enhance school programmes. Older students participate in a major camp every two years. Students also participate in the local Maths Challenge, as well as local C.W.A exhibitions, lecturette, art competitions and National Curriculum competitions.
