Stay well this winter

Influenza (flu) can be serious, especially for children.

Choose to protect yourself and your loved ones with an annual flu vaccine. The earlier you and your family get vaccinated, the better your protection heading into winter.

Keeping our school community well

We encourage parents and carers and students to:

wash or sanitise your hands thoroughly and regularly, particularly before and after touching your face
cough or sneeze into your elbow
stay home if unwell and consult your GP or Nurse-on-Call as needed
stay up to date with your flu vaccinations.

Flu vaccinations

Flu vaccination is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and older.

Some people are more at risk of severe illness from flu, especially babies and toddlers. They can get a free vaccination as part of the National Immunisation Program.

You can book a flu vaccine through your GP or pharmacy, or find a flu vaccine near you.

RSV vaccinations for mothers and babies

RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is a common virus that causes colds and ear infections. In babies, it can cause severe illness like bronchiolitis.

The RSV vaccine is available for pregnant women as part of the National Immunisation Program. In Victoria, eligible babies can also get the RSV vaccine until Wednesday 30 September 2026.

You can speak with your GP or midwife about the vaccine.

Playgroup at CRPS is on a Wednesday morning.

Playgroup is held in the Tydeman Arts Centre starting at 9.15am until 10.30am.

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.

Please click on the this link to order

https://mybookclubs.scholastic.com.au/Parent/Login.aspx

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

Vermont Lions Club

Vermont Lions Club was founded in 1974; we still have a charter member active in the club.

We are a small but very active group, raising funds by the Bunnings BBQs, providing ticket collection and car parking at Balnarring Racecourse, selling Christmas cakes at Eastlands amongst others.

All money raised goes directly to those in need whether locally, nationally (supporting people affected by fires or floods) and Internationally (helping people in distress after earthquakes etc.)

We are very happy to be able to support Camelot Rise Primary school with the breakfast club and would like to congratulate Chrissie Sandford-Ricci in putting this in place.

If any parents are interested in learning more about Lions and being involved in our activities, please contact Bernard Fazakerley on Tel 0414 807 323 or email bfazakerley@optusnet.com.au.
