The Glennie School - Newtown, Queensland

My daughter started year 7 here last year and I couldn’t be happier. It is a beautifully kept school with great values that really encourage all the girls to just be fantastic positive and self confident young women. I get kept up to date on everything that is happening with my daughter from her classes and assessments to all of the out of hours activities they offer. For the price of the school you get everything you could possibly want to know you’re going to give your children a head start in life.

I tried to get into this school but when I went to the interview I was told I did not meet the specific requirements. Apparently it has something to do with my gender, last time I check being a male was a valid gender

great school if you are a female though

I'm a bit shocked at the couple of thoughtless reviews I've just read of this school. How very wrong to rate such a lovely school one star on such flimsy grounds! Hence why I'm bothering to try to balance the scales a bit. My step granddaughters are both here and everything I've heard has been overwhelming positive. The care and empathy, not to mention excellent teachers, has delighted me and made me realise how very far good boarding schools have progressed. Keep up the good work Glennie's - it's very much appreciated.

It has been a few years since my daughters attended Glennie. The French immersion was one of the best things that Glennie had to offer. One of our daughters attended university in France and was only 20 when she achieved becoming a journalist she went on to work for win and 9. As a reporter she left her job and wrote a book and achieved this before the age of 27. Our other daughter achieved in the art world and drama and now teaches. We are Incredibly proud of our girls and I doubt they would have achieved as much without the French immersion programme offered at Glennie and being grounded at all times. I think that Glennie is the only school in Qld or even Australia offering this programme it’s so unique. I would encourage parents looking for a school where their girls are still grounded but able to speak in two languages and achieve to their best abilities to consider Glennie. I believe it is one of best schools Qld has to offer.

This is is to voice my great disappointment regarding the event PNF Welcome and House Drinks on Sunday 22nd January 4-6 pm.

It all started with an invite from Glennie. My family and I were looking forward to experiencing this event. We went for drink , and when we arrived we entered and everyone stared at us. We went to counter with name tags and no one bothered to look at us or help us, we were completely ignored. We noticed that we were the only Indian family, and even people who arrived after us were all greeted well and welcomed. We literally had to go and search for someone willing to help us with the name tags and ask them.

This was really unexpected as the "school is good, in fact everything is good in that aspect". However this event overall was a really bad experience. We will never again go to any of these events even if invited.

I am also in the process of writing a formal complaint to the secretary

The Glennie school is the best girls school in Toowoomba, the main reason is because there are no bunya pine to fall on peoples heads (Fairholme). Not only that the education system there is one of the best in Toowoomba making it infinitely better than Fairholme. p.s. hi lily

This school is soo expensive and the amount of holidays they get are crazy. For the amount we pay for they need less holidays
