Glenview Senior Public School

Glenview students enjoy a number of interesting, curriculum related field trips to reinforce learning. Our numerous sports opportunities compel students to relate as team members and compete with good sportsmanship while practicing responsibility and commitment. Our various student clubs offer something for everyone from the Animanga and Games club to the Robotics club. Every year our grade 8 students have an opportunity to experience overnight field trips. This is very rewarding and students gain great insight from these trips. They include numerous trips to Quebec City, Huntsman (New Brunswick) and to Haliburton Forest & Wild Life Reserve. Students involved in our band and strings programs may choose to enjoy a music camp in the fall and in June. The Prefect System is the form of student government at Glenview. It provides an opportunity for grade 8 students to develop positive leadership skills and to show their commitment to the school community. Each year, students and staff vote on the prefect applicants. Those candidates who receive the most votes and fulfill all requirements will serve the school in one of the 15 positions available.

Glenview Senior Public School is committed to academic excellence and offers a caring and nurturing environment. Students enjoy a safe and secure environment and work closely with staff advisors and administration as they continue their development in becoming increasingly more informed and responsible individuals. Teachers will focus on upgrading resources and technology for professional and classroom use. Glenview staff work as a team to plan, teach and assess student learning. Students will be encouraged to work toward higher achievement and to strive to become better citizens. School and community communication will continue to be a major focus at Glenview.
