- Welcome to Glengala Primary School, a vibrant and supportive community where every day brings new opportunities for growth, innovation, and connection. Our small, community-focused school in Sunshine West, nestled by Kororoit Creek, honours the Wurundjeri people, the traditional custodians of the land, and celebrates our shared heritage with respect and pride.
- We are a dynamic team of educators and support staff, comprising 20 teaching staff (full-time equivalent 16.7) and 10 non-teaching staff (full-time equivalent 7.6). Our leadership team, including a Principal and an Assistant Principal, is committed to fostering a collaborative environment where our core values of Passion, Respect, Openness to learning, Understanding, and Drive (PROUD) guide our daily interactions and inspire excellence. We aim to be PROUD of ourselves, PROUD of others, and PROUD of our school.

We are dedicated to supporting every learner through targeted programs, including the Program for Students with Disabilities, the Tutor Learning Initiative, and specialised literacy and numeracy interventions. Our commitment to student success is reflected in our strong focus on engagement, attendance, wellbeing, and achievement. With an ICSEA value of 898, placing us in the 10th percentile nationally, we recognise the challenges our community faces and are deeply committed to making a meaningful impact in the lives of our students and families.
- Our school is more than just a place to learn¿it is a community hub. We work closely with local providers to offer parental programs, including adult English classes, and maintain strong partnerships with community agencies to provide holistic support for families. Our active School Council, supported by subcommittees such as Finance and Teaching & Learning, encourages parent and carer involvement in school governance and policy development. We promote School-Wide Positive Behaviour and Respectful Relationships, explicitly teaching expectations, calming strategies, and the Zones of Regulation to support student wellbeing. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from our 2023 Parent Opinion Survey reflects our commitment to fostering strong family-school partnerships.
- We value the expertise and experience of all staff members and are committed to ongoing professional development. Our Professional Learning Communities are supported by a School Improvement Team, including the Principal, Assistant Principal, and Leading Teacher. Staff have access to mentoring, learning walks (feedback cycles), and induction programs, ensuring continuous growth in the areas of student achievement, wellbeing, engagement, and leadership.
- Our school grounds provide a safe, clean, and engaging environment for students, with a variety of active and passive play areas, including:

- A modern adventure playground with shade sails
- Basketball courts and astroturf areas
- A sandpit and student vegetable garden
- An amphitheatre and passive green spaces for reflection
- Library and club activities during breaks for students who prefer quieter spaces
