Glen Waverley Primary School Newsletter

Admin Corner

By Daria McCulloch

Welcome back to another edition of the Admin Corner!

 

In this addition we would like to share the importance of keeping family information up to date.

 

If you have moved addresses, changed your contact details and or email address, it is important to let your students class teacher know as well as the office staff. This will ensure that when classroom teachers, the nurse or office staff need to contact you, for any reason, they are able to do so. You can pick up an Amendment to Family Data Form from the office or email us directly at glen.waverley.ps@education.vic.gov.au.

 

To ensure the health and safety of our school community, we are reviewing student immunisation records. We have noticed that some records are either outdated or missing.  Please keep an eye on Compass, as we will be contacting families to ensure this critical information is accurate.  You are also welcome to provide updated information before we contact you, as this will ensure we can provide the best care possible for your children.

 

If you need to update your child's immunisation records or obtain a new Medicare Immunisation History Statement, please contact the relevant authorities listed below. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school safe.
