Carinity Education - Glendyne

Carinity Education Glendyne is one of five institutions managed by Carinity. Its sister institution in Brisbane, Carinity Education Southside, follows a similar educational framework and is exclusively for female students. Carinity also operates campuses in Rockhampton, Gladstone, and Townsville. Established in 1998, Carinity Education Glendyne began with five young men who had faced significant life challenges. Despite their difficult backgrounds, these individuals shared a common aspiration to succeed in life. Instruction at the pineapple farmhouse primarily focused on literacy, numeracy, practical agricultural skills, and welding, all provided under the auspices of the Brisbane School of Distance Education. In 2002, Carinity Education Glendyne was officially registered as a Special Assistance School for secondary students. The institution has since expanded and currently serves approximately 126 students. In 2013, the school introduced Years 6 and 7, which became part of a new Middle School program catering to students from Years 6 to 8. Carinity, previously known as Queensland Baptist Care, has been positively impacting lives since 1949 through a range of comprehensive community services. These services include care for the elderly, shelters for homeless youth, support for families and young individuals in crisis, assistance for people with disabilities, retirement lifestyle communities, and chaplaincy services in hospitals.
