Parklea Public School

Parklea Public School is set in a pleasant park-like environment, surrounded by new homes and facing a large reserve and lake. The school is modern and well-resourced. We are proud of our achievements and confident that our students will receive an outstanding, comprehensive education. We value and believe that our school develops and promotes students to be safe and respectful learners. The values of fairness, honesty and responsibility are actively developed within our welfare, social development, personal development and day-to-day routines. Our students enjoy coming to school to learn and play as a result of our proactive welfare initiatives in buddy classes, student leadership, play and social skills programs and Student Representative Council. In order to prepare our students to be productive citizens in tomorrow's changing world we actively build resilience in our students, develop student ownership and responsibility for actions and strive for both equity and excellence in all aspects of school life. This is realised through the provision of a balanced curriculum that focuses on the strong development of literacy and numeracy skills as well as the capacity to think creatively, innovate on ideas, solve problems and engage with their world. Technology is integrated into daily routines through the use of laptops, interactive whiteboards, connected learning and digital media which creates a platform for students to translate new ideas into creative learning. We provide extensive opportunities to cater for the individual interests and capabilities of students. Programs such as; interschool sports competition, dance, choir, public speaking, band, chess, and environment provide performance opportunities, enrichment, extension, greater engagement and a stronger sense of self-worth with learning across the school. To establish a quality school, we need to develop quality teachers. Our positive reputation is earned as a result of the hard work and dedication that our caring teaching staff give to the provision of outstanding educational opportunities for your child/ren. Our staff demonstrate their commitment and quality in achieving this outcome through continually refining and improving classroom practice, professionally updating skills and establishing classrooms where children thrive. Our school is a focal point within the Glenwood neighbourhood for many extra-curricular activities and a meeting place in establishing strong partnerships to support and enhance community values and further learning. Learning is alive at Parklea Public School.
