Glenfield Return to School Program

The Glenfield Return to School Program aims to:

• provide a safe and structured school environment for students on suspension
• collaborate with students, their carers and schools and other stakeholders to support students with a successful return to school
• assist students to reflect on the events leading to their suspension, and the impact on the school and others
• provide intensive academic support so students remain up to date with their home school work during their suspension
• deliver targeted social-emotional learning, including learning about the brain, the crisis escalation cycle, deescalation strategies, and strengths learning to help change patterns of behaviour
• provide skills development opportunities and support for parents/carers
• suggest student behavioural and learning support strategies which can be implemented by home schools

Referring a student?

The 2025 Glenfield Return to School Program Referral Form can be located here.

To refer a student to the GRSP,  a representative of the census school should email a completed referral package to  ajuga-s.school@det.nsw.edu.au.

1. The GRSP team will contact you following a review of the application and consideration of intake numbers to advise if the student will be offered a place.
2. If the referral is successful GRSP staff will coordinate an intake meeting between all parties
3. Following a young person's placement at GRSP the school will be provided with a Final Placement Report and supporting resources

The referral is a digital form that does not require printing. Before completing the document save the form (pdf format) to a location on your computer. (Example: Desktop or Documents). Further instructions:

• Right-click on the form and click “Save as”.
• Save to your Desktop or Documents.
• Once you have saved the form to your computer, you are ready to complete the form.
• Open the fillable form.
• After you have completed the form, save a final version of the file to your computer.
