Ms Fenella Glynn

Year 5 and 6 Executive Teacher

I have taught from preschool through to Year 6 and am passionate about literacy and visible learning and advocate that all students know what they are learning, how they are going and where to next. I have a Border Collie called River who I love to take for bush walks around Canberra. I grew up down the coast and often visit my family and go surfing on the weekends.

I have a passion for reading, meeting up with friends for a cuppa, exploring new places and bush walking. I think that there is something very special about the colour navy blue and I'm a lover of golden retriever dogs. I enjoy rowing in regattas. My focus is enriching students' knowledge of safe and respectful learning practices as they experience and enjoy their final primary school year.
