On Monday the 24th of March, the Year 6s attended Bickley Leadership Day. Along with Ms. Taylor, Mrs. Rickard, Mr Cahill, Mrs Critchell and Mrs. Cockrell, the students had a fantastic day building rafts and canoeing in the reservoir. The students enjoyed racing their team-mates up and down the reservoir. The students also faced their fears on the vertical challenge by climbing a range of very high ropes, poles and ladders. The students were given many opportunities to show their leadership, safety and collaborative learning skills. A fun but tiring day was had by all!
In March, the Year 6 Student Councillor team participated in the ROAR Student Leadership Summit at the Mundaring Arena. Four schools took part in this event: Mundaring, Helena Valley, Gidgegannup, and Parkerville Primary Schools. The students were organised into diverse teams, where they collaborated to address various challenges. Throughout the event, they demonstrated strong leadership by applying critical and higher order thinking to develop strategic solutions and work towards achieving a shared objective. Our Year 6 students: Layla, Jai, Jax, Luka, Piper, and Matilda, embraced these challenges, gaining valuable leadership skills and, most importantly, refining their abilities through hands-on experience and teamwork. We were very proud to have this awesome group of students represent our school.

On Wednesday 20 August year six students Frankie, Archie and Luka competed in the HEC Science Competition against students from eleven other Hills schools. The first task was to complete a laser beam maze and to hit a target. The second task was to unlock a padlock by completing four different scientific challenges or experiments and receiving one digit of the code each task. Students were awarded points based on their teamwork as well as scientific approach to each challenge. Overall Parkerville came third.

On 7 May we celebrated Scarlett’s birthday with a Friendship Day. Students were invited to make friendship bracelets and share them with their friends. We had Taylor Swift music playing as we enjoyed making and sharing. A big thank you to Charlotte Van Der Burgt for working tirelessly to ensure the day was a success.
Parkerville Primary School will continue to celebrate Friendship Day on May 7 in honour of Scarlett.
We held our school public speaking trials on Wednesday 20 May, and the standard was impressively high, so it made the choice very difficult.
Congratulations to Miah T (Senior participant) and Georgia S (Junior participant) who represented our school so fantastically at the HEC Public Speaking Competition, hosted by Wooroloo PS on Wednesday 28 May. We are very proud of their efforts.
