Speak Up Awards South West Competition
Parkfield Primary School once again competed in the South West competition of the Speak Up Awards. Two of our students, Molly Lindroth and Matilda Drury, were selected to progress to the Preliminary Finals, then the Grand Final of this event, held in Perth last week. Our students presented well researched and polished speeches on their chosen topics. Molly’s speech was ‘The Children’s Fight Against War’ and Matilda spoke about ‘Body Image’. Both students were amazing!

School Overview
Our active school community consists of our Parents and Citizens Association and School Board which is made up of parents, staff, industry and university representatives who are our partners in forging the school ethos and direction.
Our school buildings are of contemporary design with learning areas supporting three to four classrooms each with their own designated Information Technology area. Specialist facilities are provided for the extensive Physical Education, Music, Science, Japanese and Visual Arts programs.
Parkfield Primary School is situated in a vibrant, modern community which enjoys a wonderful, relaxed lifestyle. It is surrounded by water with the Brunswick and Collie Rivers to the east and south and the Leschenault Estuary to the west. The proximity to the estuary, rivers and beaches enables staff and students to utilise these waterways for field excursions which supports our commitment to our Parkfield Learning and Understanding Sustainability (PLUS) whole school program.

Parkfield Primary School’s Strategic Plan 2020-2023 was formally endorsed by the School Board in February 2020.
