Parkes East Public School

Parkes East Public School Parkes East PS provides a rich learning environment to enable students to experience success in their area of strength.

The School has a population of 306 pupils. Our community is very supportive of the school, with many parents involved in classroom teaching programs. We use a contemporary organisation related directly to the new curriculum statements released by the New South Wales Board of Studies. Special school features include high level computer networking, strong student welfare, academic and sporting programs. To cater for individual pupil needs and outcomes our school community has embraced many of the beliefs of Outcome Based Education. Staff and parents plan actions to address the beliefs that all children can learn and succeed, that success breeds success, and that schools control the conditions for success. Staff, families and community work together to provide students with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and experience needed to participate in our society. Our staff endeavour to provide education that is relevant to needs and aspirations of pupils, responsive to community expectations, effective in achievement of high quality educational programs and efficient in the use of resources.

Congratulations Rise Above Self Kyah.
Kyah is a bubbly, kind and thoughtful member of our school community. She brings a positive attitude and enthusiasm each day. Kyah is someone who can always be relied upon to lend a helping hand, whether it is supporting a classmate, helping a teacher or simply noticing when someone might need a little encouragement. Her caring nature and genuine thoughtfulness towards others make her a wonderful friend and a valued member of our school.
In the classroom, Kyah approaches all activities with a willingness to give everything a go. She listens carefully to instructions, takes pride in her work and always strives to do her best. Her creativity often shines through in the ideas she shares and the work she produces. This year, Kyah has proudly represented Parkes East in numerous events. Whether competing as part of a sporting team or as a marimba player, she consistently represents our school with respect, enthusiasm and pride.
Kyah, we are incredibly proud of the person you are growing to be and congratulate you on this very well-deserved Rise Above Self award.

Last night at ZooSnooze, we had a great time! First, we got to see the lion pride up close. Then, we went on a night walk to see Australian animals that are awake after dark.

We finished the night with hot chocolate and cake to help us warm up on a cold evening!
