Gleniti School Staff

A word from our Principal

Welcome to Gleniti School. We are very proud to be able to share our school with you. With a rich history, great staff, students and families, and excitement for the future – we are a wonderful learning community that is focused on building capable, resilient learners with a strong sense of identity and belonging.

Our vision encapsulates our approach to learning:

“Together, on target, for the future.”

At Gleniti School , we are committed to cultivating our ARCHER values – Achievement, Responsibility, Caring, Honesty, Effort, Respect – and nurturing competencies essential for success in our interconnected global society.

Central to our ethos is fostering a sense of belonging, where every child and their whānau feel their cultural contributions are valued and respected. We prioritize partnership, actively fostering collaboration among teachers, students, and parents.

Excellence and personal growth are cornerstones of our learning environment. We embrace collective achievement, supporting one another and celebrating success together. Our aim is to spark a lifelong passion for learning and encourage curiosity, empowering students to lead their educational journey.

We recognise the importance of foundational literacy and numeracy skills in navigating the world and expressing oneself effectively. Through explicit teaching, we equip students with essential skills for critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative expression.

At Gleniti School, we foster a culture of continuous growth, empowering every student to become their own teacher. We understand the trust you place in us when you send your children here, and we are dedicated to ensuring their safety, happiness, and value within our school community through reflection, proactive measures, and genuine care.
