Hello again. Most of you listening to this series where we introduce you to the amazing schools that are coming with us to Mount Isa will know just how beautiful Toowoomba is - best known as the garden city and only an hour or two from Brisbane.

Today we’re chatting with Sharon Currie, Head of Boarding at The Glennie School which is located in the heart of Toowoomba. Sharon and her team lead their boarders with an optimism and confidence that seems to infect every area of boarding life not least the girls themselves.

I asked Sharon how Glennie ensures that their broader school community understands the life of a boarder, not only during term time at school but their life at home. The enthusiasm Sharon responded with as she detailed the various initiatives undertaken was heartwarming. Whether it’s open days at the boarding house for teachers of boarders, whether it was visiting families where they live or simply knowing each girls space - their bedroom, how they decorate it with things from home or pictures… staff gain a great understanding of their charges from these simple practices.

Glennie, like all of our schools coming to Mount Isa has a history of educating girls from our most remote regions and they proudly hold their boarders at the heart of everything they do. I hope you enjoy getting to know The Glennie School a little bit better.
