Gleeson College

As part of our ongoing commitment to student and staff wellbeing, Gleeson College held a Sleep Awareness Day last Friday. Students and staff were invited to come to school dressed in their pyjamas to highlight the importance of healthy sleep habits and the vital role sleep plays in our health, wellbeing, learning and overall performance.

There were certainly plenty of comfortable and coordinated outfits across the campus, making for a fun and engaging day while promoting an important wellbeing message. 🌙😴

In recognition of National Reconciliation Week, we welcomed Scott Darlow to Gleeson College. Scott is an Aboriginal singer-songwriter, public speaker, and educator from Yorta Yorta Country. Our Years 7-9 students had the privilege of listening to Scott's presentation as part of our focus on First Nations culture, history and reconciliation.

After school, our teaching staff engaged in a session with Scott which featured storytelling, music, and cultural perspectives centered on respect, understanding, and empathy. It was a pleasure to have Scott speak with our staff and share insights that support our ongoing commitment to reconciliation.

We are thrilled to share that Gleeson Year 11 student and talented Australian Rules Football player, Amalia, recently made her SANFLW debut playing for Central Districts. This follows her selection in the SA team that competed at the 2026 Marsh AFLW National Development Championships, where she took on the leadership role of Deputy Vice Captain. Congratulations, Amalia! 👏
