Parking
Parking is available along King Arthur Drive, Galahad Crescent and Avalon Avenue. Monash City Council Parking Inspectors regularly monitor the parking situation in Galahad Crescent. As the safety of all our students is our prime concern, we are pleased that the Council has taken this initiative to ensure that the parking restrictions are observed. When vehicles are stopped or parked too close to the crossing, the visibility of drivers approaching the school crossing is impaired and this places our students at risk. We ask parent’s co-operation in keeping this area clear at all times.
Please remember that to maximise the safety of all our students (and community) it is important to observe and follow all guidelines in place at all times:
- There is a 2-minute drop-off zone in place, which means 2 minutes maximum. Vehicles are not to be left unattended.
- There is a Permit Only Zone in front of the staff carpark. Please do not park here unless you have a permit.
- Abide by all road rules
- Use the crossings provided (manned or not) to cross the road
- Ensure children exit the car on the footpath side
- Encourage your children to stand on the footpath not on the road when leaving the car
- Be patient and respectful of other motorists
Scholastics Bookclub
Scholastic aims to give every child access to quality books and learning materials, and create literacy-rich homes, schools and communities throughout Australia.
To help achieve this goal, Scholastic Rewards were created as a form of currency as a way to give back to schools.
Every time you participate in a Scholastic offering, your School is being rewarded! For example, for every Book Club order that you place, Scholastic gives back 20% of your total order spend to your school as Scholastic Rewards.
Scholastic gives away millions of dollars in Scholastic Rewards each year, helping to stretch countless school and classroom budgets further. In doing so, educators have access to an extensive range of resources and cross-curriculum products to help their students reach their highest potential.
Primary School Wear (PSW)
Wearing school uniform fosters pride in our school, encourages children to identify with the school and feel a sense of belonging. It also assists with supervision and safety on visits out of the school, and unifies students from varying social and cultural backgrounds.
Primary School Wear (PSW) is our school uniform.
PSW is located at 342-350 Springvale Rd Glen Waverley 3150
