The Glenleighden School
Description
The Glenleighden School is a unique Prep -Year 12 school supporting children and young people with disability for whom language is their primary disorder. For over thirty years, The Glenleighden School has supported students with speech and language disorders to make sense of the world around them and successfully access learning. Our extended school community is a very proud group of dedicated staff, students, families and friends who strongly advocate for the needs of young people who have little or no voice of their own.
The Glenleighden School aspires to support children and young people with speech and language disorders to achieve their educational and personal potential. We do this by providing comprehensive, intensive multi-disciplinary programs through a combination of teaching and therapy for students with special needs whose primary disorder is language.

A message from Allison, our School Banking Mum: The Glenleighden School banking day is on Friday. Tomorrow morning, Victoria our Commonwealth Banking Representative will be on site from 8:15am for an account opening session. So if your child is keen to start banking at school this is your opportunity to open an account without too much fuss and bother. All you need is a current drivers licence and your child’s birth certificate to open an account online. However, if you can’t put your hands on either of these, don’t worry ID information can be completed at a later time. School banking is a fundraising opportunity for our school with 5% of every child’s banking deposit under $50 donated to the school by the Commonwealth Bank. We hope to see you on Friday morning!

The Glenleighden School had some very special visitors from Japan on Monday. Misako Nakatani is an education journalist and visited us as part of her research. Since retiring as a newscaster, Misako has worked on increasing awareness and understanding of developmental disorders and special education to inform the practices of the Japanese Ministry of Education. It was a pleasure meeting Misako and her son. They even gave us these lovely Japanese treats!
