Glenferrie Primary strives to motivate and support students to reach their full potential socially and academically. It encourages them to be adaptive and creative in their thinking, in order for them to experience success and become responsible and respectful members of an ever changing society. The new direction for the school is set out in our Strategic Plan 2011-2014 which focuses on the achievement of high quality learning outcomes for all students in all learning domains with a strong focus on the Victorian Essential Learning Domains of English and, in particular, Mathematics P – 6. There is a strong partnership between home and school with a high level of parental involvement in various programs across the school. Parent participation is actively encouraged.
