Welcome to Glenferrie Primary
At Glenferrie Primary there is so much that we are proud of!
Inclusive, Welcoming Community
At G.P.S. we represent more than 40 nationalities and are proud of our welcoming culture and international orientation, setting up our students to be global citizens and lifelong learners.
Accredited IB Learning Framework
Glenferrie Primary is an accredited International Baccalaureate (Primary Years Program) school. This means our excellent teachers are held to an incredibly high standard not just in how they teach the Victorian curriculum, but how they drive an international, inquiry-based learning approach.
Excellent NAPLAN Results
We are incredibly proud of our high achievements in NAPLAN. Our results show that we are consistently outperforming similar schools, schools within our network and the State across all areas in years 3 and 5. There is a whole school commitment to nurturing our students, so they are confident and able to achieve their best.
Integrated student wellbeing
Student wellbeing is at the heart of our teaching and learning. We value a holistic approach that supports all students with a focus on wellbeing, resilience and a positive mindset. This is instrumental to student engagement and authentic learning.
Our School
Glenferrie Primary is one of Victoria’s first schools, established in 1878. A number of the school’s buildings are of historical significance, including our bell tour, junior and senior school classrooms, and shelter shed.
We also have a number of top facilities for our students to play and learn – with a brand new junior playground, a running track used heavily by our regional representative sports teams, and a welcoming, student-programmable robot called Pepper!
Led by GPS Principal Ms Tanya Gurney, the school will be celebrating 150 years of continuous service in the Hawthorn community in 2025.
We are proud of our strong reputation as a welcoming, inclusive school supporting students to achieve their best.
Glenferrie Primary School is an International Baccalaureate accredited school. Our inquiry-based learning fosters a natural curiosity for learning.
Glenferrie Primary School is accredited under the Department of Education’s CRICOS registration for International Students (CRICOS provider name and code: Department of Education, 00861K). For more information, see: www.study.vic.gov.au
