Incredible week

It was my great privilege to be the Principal of

Parkes East on two particular occasions last week.

Most obviously the fete, where so many people from our school community work so tirelessly to make it such a success. A thank you, on behalf of the students, to each and every person who contributed

in some way.

The second event that made me so proud was our girls hockey team who played Molong CS last Friday. The repeated effort of the girls (from both teams) to keep pushing themselves ensured the game required a third period of extra time before a result was achieved with Molong scoring. To see how our students never gave up was truly inspirational and proved that just because you don’t finish first in a sporting contest doesn’t mean you’re not a winner. Each and every girl in this team was a winner in my

eyes.

May your week be full of joy. Michael

OPTUS ROAD SHOW Thanks to Optus for their Optus On The Road Show. Students from 4/5S, 5/6H and 5/6R got a taste of the future last week as they participated in the ‘On the Road with Optus’ road show featuring virtual and augmented reality workshops in partnership with Think Digital. The excitement generated amongst the students was a testament to the quality of the workshops and presentations.
