was our first year as a middle school. Prior to that Glanford was
a K-7 Elementary School with French Immersion.
The
primary goal for our first year was to create a culture for our
middle school that nurtured learning in a positive, safe and fun
environment. By any measure we met this goal as our students were
introduced to new ideas, challenges and opportunities that reflected
their growing independence in their young adolescent years. A fabulous
music program, Retro-Assemblies,
Team Assemblies, Studio 85 Televison Station, a full slate of sports
teams, Mini-Exploratories, PJ's & Pancakes, Literacy and Science
Fairs were just a few of the ways that this became a special place
in 2004-2005.
We
were a small school in 2004-2005, just 280 students, but growth
was certain for our second year and possibly beyond. We looked forward
to building on the success of our first year as we continued to
make GMS the best middle school in Victoria. |

The
Gator was a faithful mascot to the thousands of students
who went through Glanford Elementary School. But when we
became a middle school it was time for a change. Click on
