100 Years of Friendship at Glennie SchoolPrint Page 
The stained glass window commemorates 100 years of friendship created at the Glennie Memorial School. The window was unveiled during the school`s centenary year.
Although the original plans were to establish both a school for boys and a school for girls, funds were harder to raise than expected due to the drought on the Darling Downs. In June 1907, the Anglican Church decided to proceed with the establishment of a girls' school because there was an £800 bequest which would lapse if construction did not commence by end of 1907. The choice of a school for girls was made because the church felt this was the area of greatest need as there were a number of secondary schools for boys already available. The initial plan was to hire a house to commence the school while the school building already designed by Toowoomba architect Harry Marks was constructed.
The school was founded in 1908 on its present site as the Glennie Memorial School. The first school building was dedicated on 10 August 1910.
