INTRODUCTION

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.

Gunns Bush Camp - year 4 & 5
15 Nov 2026

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is feeling excited for camp tomorrow!

Just a reminder that we will be leaving school at 9:00 am, so please make sure your children arrive on time.

Please also ensure they have packed all the appropriate gear listed on the gear list.

We had planned to complete part of the White Horse Walk on Tueday, however, it appears that the track is currently closed. As a backup option, we will be swimming instead. Please make sure your children have packed their togs, towel and goggles.

Looking forward to seeing all our happy campers in the morning!

Thank you!

Kapa Haka Group tomorrow,

Can all children in the Kapa Haka Group please wear a school t-shirt with a collar and navy shorts tomorrow. Can the girls wear their hair in a bun. If you are unable to do this the girls can go and see Miss Foster in the morning when they arrive and we will help with this. If the children are not on the bus they need to be at school by 8:55am. The children have worked really hard and are excited to perform tomorrow. You are most welcome to come and watch even if you didn't return a slip to say you can attend. We are performing between 10 and 11am.

Thanks Rachel and Caitlin

Touch today is cancelled, thank you!
