Proud of our History

Glenray began in 1957 when Mrs Glen Fogarty & Mrs Beryl Dowling recognized the need for education for children with disabilities.

Glenray Special School opened in 1957, starting in a repurposed horse stable, behind the Uniting Church in William St.

The overwhelming demand prompted fundraising efforts that resulted in a new school building opening in 1961 on Browning st, accommodating 25 students.

In 1965 Glenray expanded its services to include a Sheltered Workshop to provide skill development and work opportunities.

Despite challenges such as a devastating fire in 2018, Glenray persevered, rebuilding its facilities and launching a state-of-the-art laundry equipped to cater to substantial industry demands.

Today, Glenray still stands as a symbol of progress, recently opening 'Saltbush' its latest SDA group home, representing a commitment to fostering independence and inclusion. Through determination and a focus on safe, trusted support, Glenray remains dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities, looking ahead to a future where you can embrace your tomorrow.

Glenray continued to evolve and diversify its services, establishing employment opportunities like the Wash Shop turned Glenray Laundry, and accommodation for both adults and children with disabilities, with the opening of Glenray House and Glenray Park.

The transformative acquisition of St. Michaels orphanage in 1982 marked the beginning of Glenray's expansive growth, culminating in the development of the modern Glenray Village, consisting of multiple group homes.
