Welcome to Boarding at Glennie!
We understand boarding can be a difficult step for many families to take. At Glennie, we take great pride in creating a comfortable and nurturing second home for our boarding girls, where they feel capable and confident to undertake all there is in and outside of school life. The well-being and happiness of each of our girls is paramount and our qualified boarding staff are on hand to support and assist the girls with any pastoral or academic support they require.

REACH
Boarding families utilise the REACH online leave system which automates all Boarder Leave Request procedures. REACH coordinates Leave Request procedures for School Staff, Parents, Hosts and Boarders by creating an easy to use, paperless system that you can access from any PC or mobile device 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. It allows parents to log in, and submit leave requests for their daughter. Parents can also approve or reject leave requests submitted by their daughter. Parents are responsible for adding all host details, including name, address, email address and phone number are required to be entered fully in REACH. There are instructional videos on the Boarding button on the Parent Portal under REACH Boarding.
