Our annual walk to school day combined with our Pirate Day fundraiser for childhood brain cancer was another resounding success.  Our students, parents and even smaller siblings made the scariest pirates as they walked from Parkerville Hall to school.  Thank you to our P&C, in particular Robyn Renton and Anita Shurlock for coordinating the day.  Thank you also to Woolworths Mundaring who provided the students with fruit after the event.

The school raised $287. 00 for the Kids Cancer Project.

Kindy – Year 2s took part in an Ocean Incursion in Term 1. We learnt about lots of living creatures from the ocean, and the art room was transformed into a museum. There were lots of shells, bones and rocks for us to touch. We also got to rub a star fish, and watch a hermit crab scurry around in its shell. We even got to touch a turtle shell, and feel a huge sharks jaw with hundreds of sharp teeth. Lots of fun had by everyone.

Thank-you to all of our dastardly pirates who jumped on the Walking Pirate Ship and followed the directions to make it safely to the port of Parky Primary. Thank-you to Robyn Renton for once again organising this event. We raised over $300 for Childhood Cancer research.

On Wednesday 22 May we participated, along with 2,359,147 students from around Australia, in the National Simultaneous Storytime. We read the book Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker, simultaneously with other participants and activities were completed across the school. Please visit our library to see some of the great art projects completed.
