We know there is a lot to learn and manage when growing as a young woman. That is why, at Glennie, we take seriously our responsibility of creating a comfortable, nurturing and private second home for our International boarders, where they feel capable to immerse themselves in all there is on offer inside and outside of school life. The Glennie boarding community is lively, inclusive and cohesive; fostering strong and supportive relationships with each girl and her family. Whether your daughter is an extrovert or a little more reserved, she will be welcomed into the Glennie family and embraced for who she is.
International boarding students are accommodated in our boarding houses. It is a requirement of The Glennie School that international day students stay with a 'nominated guardian' approved by the Department of Home Affairs. Homestay is only offered during school holidays for international boarding students.
The Glennie School uses the experience of the Australian Homestay Network (AHN) to ensure a smooth homestay program is an option for international students during the school holiday periods. Like boarding, a homestay environment can assist International Students to improve English language skills, and they can also experience living in a family situation and immersing themselves in the Australian culture and way of life.
Student safety and wellbeing are a priority to The Glennie School, not only during their time at school but also within their homestay environment. Regular monitoring by the school and its representatives, ensure that the level of care expected by The Glennie School is met.
