Location
Glenmore State School is located at 241 Farm Street, North Rockhampton. Our school is located next to Glenmore State High School and Capricornia School of Distance Education.
A standard school crossing is staffed before and after school each day, and children are required to use this crossing at all times. Children crossing on the corner of Farm and McLaughlin Street are expected to cross at the traffic lights on the appropriate signal.
Bicycles and scooters
A bicycle rack is provided near the gate on Farm Street. Children who ride bicycles to school are expected to place these in the racks provided. We recommend a lock to ensure the bicycle’s security.
Bicycles are to be walked through the school grounds.
Scooters are not to be brought to school.
Parents and carers of children who ride to school should ensure that their children understand road rules and road safety. Helmets must be worn.
Buses
Several bus companies service the school. Bus stops are located along Farm Street. Please contact the following bus companies for more information on bus services:
