School Uniform
Mount Waverley Heights Primary School has a ‘Dress Code’ policy and we ask that our community support this by ensuring their child is in school uniform every school day. The uniform can be purchased at the PSW Waverley store, which is located at 342-350 Springvale Road, Glen Waverley. Uniforms can be purchased either in person at the store or you can arrange a click and collect. Their website can be found on the following link –

Our uniforms are supplied by PSW and are of an excellent quality. The school logo features on our polo shirts and jackets which is important in establishing a strong sense of school identity and pride. The school colours are navy blue and teal with many different clothing options available to cater to the various seasonal needs and preferences of students.

Transition
Internal Transition
To help support students as they transition from one class to another we hold internal transitions sessions towards the end of Term 4 which provide opportunities for all students to experience the new year level ahead, becoming familiar with the new setting and developing an understanding of the expectations and opportunities available in the coming year.
As part of the transition from one class to another we have introduced ‘Information Exchange’ interviews and information sheets to aid the passing on of information from parents to their child’s new teacher for the coming year. Teachers also spend time during our Professional Learning sessions completing a handover at the beginning of each year to ensure that information of an academic, social and emotional nature are passed on from one teacher to the next.
Prep Transition
Information on Prep Transition can be found on the Enrolment page.
Yr 7 Transition
The decision about which secondary school your child will attend is an important one. When considering which school would be more likely to suit your child’s educational needs, you may also wish to discuss the matter with your child’s Year 6 teacher or primary school principal who will be able to provide personalised and customised advice. You should also take the time to visit secondary school open days and attend information nights.
All students under the age of eighteen years are entitled to a place in a Victorian Government school. They are guaranteed a place in their neighbourhood school, but may choose any other school in which space is available. The designated neighbourhood school is defined as the secondary school which is nearest to the student’s permanent residential address measured in a straight line distance.
Applications for Enrolment (Year 7) are distributed with secondary education information to parents with students in Year 6, in Term 2 each year. Parents are asked to indicate on the Application for Enrolment form which secondary school they would prefer their child to attend the following year and parents are usually notified of their child’s Year 7 placement by the end of August each year.
APPLYING FOR GOVERNMENT SECONDARY SCHOOLS
The principles of the neighbourhood school policy are:
- to guarantee the right of each child to a place in the designated neighbourhood school.
- wherever practical, to provide parents/guardians with the opportunity to enrol their child at the same school as that being attended by an older brother or sister who resides permanently at the same address.
- to allow parents not wishing to send their child to the neighbourhood school to select any other school in which space is available.
- to contain enrolments in each school within the limits of available resources as determined by the Regional Director.
Most secondary schools will conduct information nights before you need to make a decision. If you have lost or misplaced the Application for Enrolment, please contact the School Office.
