Welcome

A warm welcome to the 2024 school year!

We would like to welcome existing families back to our school and extend a warm welcome to the new families of the Glen Waverley Primary School community.  It has been a phenomenal start to the year with our learner's demonstrating curiosity and enthusiasm, while settling into their orderly learning spaces.

At the forefront of our learning and teaching, we are sure to have a fantastic term ahead. Please take a few moments to read what we have planned for this exciting term.

Hats – As we are a Sun Smart school, hats must be always worn when the students are outside during Term One.

We thank you for your ongoing support and assistance. We are looking forward to a wonderful year.
