Dear Glenvale Community,
A very busy and challenging term 4 is coming to
an end. I simply can’t believe how fast it has
gone, especially as it has been my first
wonderful year at the school.
We held our senior graduation ceremony this
week and it highlighted to me the incredible
students, families and networks that surround
our students. It also showed the care and
support of our wonderful staff.
I have included part of my address to our year
12 graduates below.
It is a privilege to be a teacher to know that
each day you have the chance to positively
affect a life and to enhance opportunities for
students. To be a principal is another privilege
as you try to provide the best environment,
resources and culture for not only the students
in your care but the teachers and leaders who
care for the students and families. I thank my
wonderful teachers, leaders and support staff
for everything they do every day.
We live in a world now where education is lost
in a fog of data, testing, assessment and
national standards which attempt to reduce
student achievement to a narrow set of abilities
or rankings which systems assume will describe
success.
As Albert Einstein once said,
“Not everything that counts can be measured,
and not everything that can be measured
counts”
What I believe really counts is character.
Character is not created with a single act, no
matter how brilliant or bold. It is forged in the
smallest of struggles, the product of a
thousand, thousand strokes of practice.
We are all of us unique, we all have our gifts
and foibles but it is the deeper and more
important things such as our character and soul
that make us what we are and who we are to
our friends, family, peers and loved ones. It also
reveals who we truly are as human beings.
I give all my wishes and respect to our students,
their families and friends. May your strength
grow, may your opportunities expand and may
your true character shine.

Voluntary School Contributions
Every public school asks for a small contribution towards the many costs
associated with education programs.
At Glenvale we ask that parents contribute $35 per child each year. This has not
changed for many years and is a very small comparison with other schools even
though our costs can be much higher.
Please consider sending in the $35 as soon as you are able to do so.
Many thanks to those who have already done so.
All donations to the school over $2 are tax deductible as Glenvale is registered
with the Australian Tax Office as a deductible gift.
Remember to send in your old mobile phones. Every phone, whether working or
not, is worth money to the school. Your old phones have already raised much
needed funds for Glenvale.
