Queensland’s First Australian Olympic Pathway School
The Glennie School is proud to be the first school in Queensland – and the first regional school in Australia – officially designated as an Australian Olympic Pathway School by the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC).
This prestigious recognition is awarded to schools that meet the strict standards of the AOC and maintain a proven elite athlete development program. For our girls, it means their sporting journey is now formally connected to the highest levels of national competition.
Our Peak Performance Sport Program serves as the engine for this pathway, supporting seven Olympic disciplines: Rugby 7s, Hockey, Triathlon, Equestrian, Cricket, Modern Pentathlon, and Handball.
Becoming a professional athlete requires not just talent, but the right environment and our program carefully balances high-level training with academic life. With our world-class facilities and expert coaching, we provide the clear pathway for young sportswomen who dream of representing Australia.
This is a life-changing opportunity for our students to pursue their dreams of wearing the Green and Gold. We are incredibly proud of our talented young sportswomen who lead by example in the classroom and on the field. At Glennie, we are committed to helping every girl be
