Glen Park Primary is a 'bush school on the edge of the city' first established from an acre lot carved out of the bush in 1870. Only 10 minutes out of Ballarat, it features an attractive rural environment, excellent resources (abundant sports equipment, art materials, thousands of books and a ratio of more than one computer per student) and new buildings. Glen Park has dedicated, caring staff, including a full-time teacher/principal and a specialist teacher who comes one day per week to work primarily with the early years students (EFT 1.2). Glen Park has a small enrolment but an unprecedented opportunity for growth. The core values of Glen Park are that: - ? The children should receive real individual care and guidance in their pursuit of knowledge. ? All children should have access to modern learning technology. ? All children should have ready access to suitable literature and software. ? All children should have access to camps, excursions and special programs. ? Parents should feel they are entering a real partnership with the school to provide the best possible opportunities for their children.
