Glenavy School is a state co-educational primary school that has served the community for over a hundred and twenty years. It has developed a fine tradition in educational, cultural and recreational activities, and maintains a proud place in the community. The school’s success can be attributed to the tremendous co-operation, enthusiasm and efficient service of all connected with Glenavy both in the past and the present.
The onset of dairy farms has seen the roll almost double over the last few years and at the beginning of 2009, we were pleased and proud to have our 4th classroom opened by Jacqui Dean MP.
The rural aspect is an attractive and significant feature of the area and offers a unique perspective on life. With this comes a range of different educational opportunities and experiences which reflect the unique culture of Glenavy School. This is reinforced through the efforts of an experienced, dedicated and talented staff who through modern, appropriate teaching strategies provide interesting and varied learning experiences for our students.
We have an enthusiastic Board of Trustees, which works hard in the interests of all students of Glenavy School. We are all justifiably proud of our well maintained buildings, grounds and facilities.

Dear Year 8 Parents and Caregivers,
This coming Tuesday (weather permitting), our Year 8 students will be taking part in a community service project to give back to a very deserving local family by helping plant trees on their dairy farm.
This will take place during normal school hours, and we will be traveling to and from the farm by bus.
Important details for Tuesday:
What to wear: Students should wear mufti with old clothes and sturdy footwear. It’s definitely not a fashion show—the kids will be getting dirty and doing some real hard yakka!
Equipment: If your child has a spare shovel or spade at home that they can bring along for the day, we would greatly appreciate it (please make sure it is clearly labeled with your family name).
If you have any questions or need further details, please feel free to email me at stephen@glenavy.school.nz.
Have an awesome weekend!
Warm regards,
Kate and Steve
Hi everyone,
Some camp notices and forms have gone home today. Can you please fill them in and get them back ASAP.
If your child was away today or didn't get the notices, tell them to come see me tomorrow and I will give them some.
Thank you
Emily MacLeod
