A GLIMPSE OF THE HISTORY AND TRADITION

The original Glenelg School was situated on the north-eastern corner of High and Chapel Streets, Glenelg. 

In 1876 it became a government school.  Both the stone and brick school which was opened in 1881, and the double storey brick building opened in 1969 were built on the current site.  The Diagonal Road building was opened in 1921.

The headmaster's house is now used for the Out of School Hours Care and as the Canteen.

Glenelg School have a proud history.

Approximately 2000 people attended the centenary celebrations in 1981.  A time capsule was sealed, during the ceremony and will be opened in 2006, the 125th anniversary of the siting of the school on its current location. A book was published to commemorate the School's 100 years.
