The Principal’s Welcome

Academic achievement is our Number 1 priority.  The success of last year is a testament to the quality teaching and learning at Glenfield College.  I encourage you to read our latest ERO report:

The significant shift in Glenfield College NCEA achievement in 2016 is an indication of the effectiveness of leaders’ and teachers’ personalized and relational initiatives.  Considerable efforts are made so students can access a curriculum that is responsive to their individualized learning needs and pathways.    – ERO Report

Glenfield College encourages a holistic education that encompasses academic achievement, sporting participation, promotion of the Arts, and recognizing the importance of service.  Our focus is to develop confident, socially responsible students who can contribute to society in a meaningful manner.

Glenfield College offers warmth, encouragement, and family-like qualities.  The size of our school allows us to develop a mentoring system, which supports each student in pursuing his or her goals with confidence.

A strong sense of community is a part of what makes us unique.  We genuinely want your children to enjoy coming to school every day.  To ensure this occurs, we have developed a culture built on the pillars of Pride and Respect.  Glenfield College is a welcoming, respectful, and fulfilling learning environment, which ensures our students feel connected.

I am proud to be the seventh Principal of Glenfield College.  It is a happy and caring place where students can reach their full potential.  I look forward to welcoming your family in person.

Paul McKinley
Principal
