A big thank you to everyone who got behind Day for Daniel this year! Together we raised $609.60, with MTM Earthmoving proudly doubling the school’s fundraising total.
The students did an amazing job creating their own red t-shirts, each listing their five safe places — they’re now hanging proudly in the undercover area as a powerful reminder of the importance of child safety and awareness.
We’re so proud to continue supporting this cause and to stand alongside the Parkerville Primary School community for another year.
Thank you so much to Ildy and Alisha for the beautiful cards that they assisted the students to make for the
teachers over last week – they certainly brightened our day, and we really appreciate the time you took to
make this happen. A big thank you also to the parents who contributed to our morning tea – it was
amazing! We are beyond lucky to be serving this community.
Our year 3 students participated in the Red Cross Pillowcase Project on Tuesday 28 October. This was a one hour workshop delivered by trained Australian Red Cross volunteers.
This programme is about disaster preparedness and involves engaging discussions and interactive activities to help students:
• Understand and discuss the importance of being prepared
• Prepare their mind for the thoughts and feelings that may arise before, during and after an emergency
• know what to pack in an emergency kit
Each student was given a pillowcase to decorate and take home, to start their own personal emergency kit.
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 Friday 1 August our school hosted the HECSA Group A Cross Country Event.
We finished SECOND out of 5 schools in overall points- a great result!
