We are empowered learners, respectful community members, who embrace challenge and celebrate growth
At Glengarry Primary School, our staff work collaboratively as a Professional Learning Community to ensure all students learn to high levels.
A Professional Learning Community (PLC) is a group of teachers who are dedicated to learning with and from one another. They come together weekly, to review evidence of learning and what impact their teaching has had on the outcomes of students.
We have two PLCs, a Junior Grade Prep-2 PLC and a Senior Grade 3-6 PLC. The focus of these PLCs is on Numeracy which is aligned to our school improvement focus.
