The Special Interest groups at Glenbrook South bring together students who share common hobbies, talents and passions in a supportive and collaborative environment.

By creating a sense of belonging and camaraderie, these groups enhance students’ overall high school experience by building upon their skills and knowledge, developing lasting friendships and becoming part of a diverse and thriving community that values and celebrates both individuality and collective interests.
