no-junk lunches Recent reports on more Australians being overweight do not apply to the children at Glengarry! One only has to take a look around at our students. As we feed children they grow into healthy adults with healthy habits. Lunch boxes filled with fresh, unprocessed fruit and vegetables, whole-grain cereal breads & ‘no added sugar’ snacks are a major factor. The other main factor in fitness, is that Glengarry children run around a lot in their breaks, clearly enjoying the exercise and taking advantage of our spacious grounds. This information is from the Australian Government…Excess weight, especially obesity, is … Continue reading Well done lunch providers!

I’m coordinating the Year 4,5,6 House (Friday 10 March) and Inter-school (Friday 31 March) swimming carnivals next year.

The lifeguard is on call … Continue reading Swimming Carnivals 2017

Yes I can help you to find the flowers which are weeds and you can take them away to put in a vase. Today the council is fencing the other virgin bushland areas of Alfreton/Glengarry Reserve. There will be an effort to leave a bike trail. Education is needed for visitors to understand how to care for seedlings and to know that damaging the bush is a criminal offence. Ways the bush can be damaged: Trampling plants Digging holes Dumping cuttings which bring in weeds Breaking branches to build cubbies leaving litter to hurt wildlife allowing dog droppings which make … Continue reading bushland care – come collect a bouquet of daisies!
