Learning grows the more children, peers, adults & the community are connected to it. We are dedicated to cultivating strong community engagement through partnerships that forge community spirit.
Glenealy School values the power of strong community partnerships and actively cultivates parental engagement to enrich the educational experience for students.
Parental participation in children's learning experiences at school is crucial for fostering academic success and emotional well-being. When parents engage in their child's education, they help create a supportive learning environment that enhances student achievement and motivation. There are many ways we provide opportunities for parents to get involved, including attending parent workshops to gain insights into effective educational strategies, volunteering in the classroom to provide additional support, and helping out on class trips to enrich learning experiences.
Parents can also share their specialist skills or experiences, which can be invaluable in bringing real-world knowledge into the classroom.

Playing an active role on the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is also encouraged which allows parents to support initiatives, while providing links to the community helps strengthen the school's resources and support network.
Through collaborative efforts with the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and parent volunteers, the school organises fundraising events and activities to support various school initiatives.
Glenealy School also builds partnerships with associated schools, community businesses, and non-profit organisations to provide enhanced learning opportunities for students and parents. We invite visiting authors, illustrators, poets, and other experts to inspire and engage students in their learning journey.
The school hosts diverse events throughout the year, such as Bingo Night, cultural celebrations, craft activities, concerts, and fundraisers, fostering a vibrant and connected community. Through these community partnerships, Glenealy School creates a collaborative and supportive environment that nurtures the holistic development of its students.
