Successful Year Concluding

Thank you to everyone for your support of our

Presentation Night at Parkes High School Hall

last Tuesday evening. It was a wonderful night

for the school.

On behalf of the students at Parkes East,

I would like to thank the parents, friends of the

school and staff for their tireless efforts in

supporting our school. Good luck to our Year 6

students who are entering the next phase of

their life.

May we all have a safe and reinvigorating

break prior to returning in late January to do

more fabulous things at our school.

May your week, Christmas and school holiday

period be full of joy.

Michael Ostler and Jessica Neilsen

School concludes at 3:10pm this Friday 15 December. School resumes for students on Tuesday 30 January (Years 1-6) and

Wednesday 31 January (Kindergarten).

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Focus for this week is:

WE ARE SAFE

At school, this looks like: using all equipment safely, asking the teacher's permission before leaving the classroom, staying in

bounds when in the playground, keeping our hands and feet to ourselves, walking on the concrete

At home, this looks like: asking your parents to go outside and play, not answering the door to strangers, using cutlery safely,

telling your parents if you are concerned

FRUIT DONATION We thank Parkes Little

Athletics Club for sharing their donated fruit. It is much

enjoyed and appreciated.

We would appreciate any Trash and Treasure

donations, in saleable condition, for the Village Fair.

Please deliver them to the School Office.

WEEKLY ASSEMBLY Class 1O is co-ordinating

assembly this week; presenting Merit Certificates,

school reports and MC’ing. Parents are encouraged

to attend.
