Important Information

School Drop Off and Car Park

Please note that the school car park is for staff only. There have been a number of parents driving into the school car park to drop their children off and reversing back onto Heath Street. This causes traffic to bank up on Heath Street and increases the risk of an accident or a pedestrian being hit by a car. Where possible, please drop your child off a short walk from the school to help minimise the traffic around the school.  

Out of respect to our neighbours, please refrain from parking across driveways and do not use the Glen Waverley South Primary School carpark as a drop off point for students. This simply creates similar issues for our neighbouring school.  

Your cooperation is much appreciated.  

School Yard Supervision Before School

A reminder that the schoolyard is actively supervised by staff from 8.30am in the morning. Any students who arrive before this time will not be under active yard duty supervision.

Annual Secondary School Vaccination Program 2020

2020 Secondary School Vaccinations – Year 7 & 10 Students

The Secondary School Vaccine Program offers free vaccinations to Year 7 and 10 students. These vaccines provide protection against:

•  
  • Diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis) one dose for year 7 students
  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV) – two doses for year 7 students
  • Meningococcal A,C,W,Y – one dose for year 10 students

Parents/guardians of Year 7 students should look out for the vaccine consent card booklet coming home from school with your child. Year 10 students will receive their card later in the year. You need to read the information, complete and return the card regardless of whether your child is being vaccinated at school.

The Monash Council immunisation service may contact you about the Secondary School Vaccine Program. Schools are authorised to provide basic parent/guardian contact details to local councils for this purpose. Contact the school by 21 February each year if you do not want your contact details given to the Monash Council immunisation service.

Additionally, the Commonwealth government is funding vaccinations for all children under 20 years of age who missed any scheduled vaccines, including a catch up program for Meningococcal ACWY vaccine for adolescents aged 15-19 years of age who have not already received the vaccine in school. If students have missed vaccines, either in childhood or adolescence, and require catch-up vaccines, they should speak with their immunisation provider. (i.e. local council or GP).
