Momentum

Strategic Directions for Glenlyon Norfolk School

Approved by the GNS Society Board on December 3, 2022, the school’s renewed mission statement and new strategic directions express our ongoing commitment to provide an exceptional experience for our students and families.

Parents Volunteer Opportunities

Parents Engagement

GNS thrives on the engagement of our parent community to support school initiatives. To make volunteering at GNS simpler and more consistent, we have introduced a new committee-based structure informed by feedback from our parent community. This model will feature committees co-led by parents and GNS staff.

The Gryphon Door school store is located on the Pemberton Woods Campus, across the courtyard from the Main Building. The school store stocks all of the required uniform items, school-crested clothing, gifts, and a selection of gently used clothing. Parents are also welcome to shop for uniform items via the Gryphon Door Online.
