On Friday 15 May, we will be meeting at the Parky Hall at approximately 7:45am/8:00am, dressed as pirates, to take part in a special fundraising event supporting kids’ brain cancer research. Together, we will form a walking pirate ship as we make our way up to school!

P&C and school staff will be down at the hall to help guide our pirates along the path, and any parent assistance along the walk would be greatly appreciated.

Please note:

Running Club will be suspended for the morning.

The P&C will kindly be providing fruit for students afterwards.
Please bring a gold coin donation to support the Kids Cancer Project.
We are looking forward to seeing our Parky pirates come together for such an important cause!

National Simultaneous Storytime is a special event that encourages children across Australia to read and enjoy the same book together at the same time. In 2026, the chosen book is Luna Roo: The Kangaroo Baller, written by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, and illustrated by Jake Minton. The story follows Luna Roo, a brave young kangaroo who leads her team through challenges in an exciting football match. The book shares important messages about courage, teamwork, determination, and believing in yourself. National Simultaneous Storytime helps children develop a love of reading while bringing schools, libraries, and families together to celebrate stories and literacy.

Our ANZAC Day Assembly will be held on Friday 24 April at 9.30am. Students are welcome to wear their Scouts/Girl Guide uniforms and parents are welcome.

Our Faction Carnival will be held in week 9.  Jumps and Throws will be held on Wednesday 17 September and the main carnival will be on Friday 19 September.

All students should wear their faction shirts for this event.

Mr Paulin and the faction leaders have led the training for this event each Friday.  In particular they have been practicing all team events which comprises the participation of multiple year levels in a variety of sport games.

Look out for the Sausage Sizzle order information.  There will also be a cake stall and a coffee van.

Lets hope for great weather for the event!

On Tuesday 28 our year 3 students will participate in the Red Cross Pillow Case Project.

This one hour workshop is delivered by trained Australian Red Cross volunteers and is designed to help children prepare for, cope with and respond to emergencies.

The workshop has been developed with links to the Australia and State-based Curriculum Learning areas, in particular Health & Physical Education and Humanities & Social Sciences.

The workshop has been shown to strengthen students’ preparedness knowledge, lessen fears relating to emergencies, and has led to better responses in an emergency.  For more information about the workshop, visit redcross.org.au/pillowcase-workshops/
