Admin Corner
By Jacinta Gaffy
As the newest member of the office administration team, with a background in medical reception, I come with a passion to learn and work collaboratively with those around me.
I believe it is important to foster positive relationships with all members of the school community in order that people feel safe, at ease and cared for. I strive to encourage students even in the little ways to reach their full potential, both personally and academically.
In my spare time I enjoy getting out in nature, walking, drawing, baking, and spending quality time with my family and friends.
I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to all staff, parents, and students, who have so warmly welcomed me into the Glen Waverley Primary School Community.
In this addition, I would like to gently remind you of the following.
Please feel free to contact us on (03) 9802 9938 during these times.
Please check that your child’s uniform and belongings are clearly labelled with their full name. This will ensure lost items are returned promptly.
(1) the classroom teacher
(2) the school office (glen.waverley.ps@education.vic.gov.au)
(3) our principal Mr. Catalano (frank.catalano@education.vic.gov.au)
Your email must include the dates your child will begin their absence and the date they will return to school.
Unexplained absences are regularly followed up with a phone call or a letter requesting you to promptly enter a note in Compass with an explanation for your child’s absence.
Below is a link which includes step by step instructions, on how to do so:

This guide is also available on our school website www.glenps.vic.edu.au under the section Parents and Topics COMPASS.
Furthermore, I would like to take a moment to remind you about our school's telephone system and provide some valuable information. To ensure efficient communication, we have three telephone lines available for your convenience:
Best practice is we recommend that you save all three numbers; however, the main number, Line 1 (9802 9938), is used for all incoming calls. The system is designed so that if Line 1 is busy, calls will automatically route to Line 2 and then Line 3.
It's essential to note that when our staff members make outgoing calls, they may use Line 1, Line 2, or Line 3. Therefore, saving all three numbers in your phone will ensure you don't miss any important calls.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call us or to pop past the office for a friendly chat, as we are always happy to help.
Warm regards,
Jacinta Gaffy
