Walk for Water

What would you do if your closest water source was more than half an hour away?

This is a daily reality for millions, but it doesn't have to be. In Africa and Asia, women have to walk an average of 6 kilometres to collect water. That’s roughly 7874 steps, mostly through difficult terrain and with dozens of litres of water to carry. This March, Walk for Water by taking 10,000 steps a day for five days and fundraising for WaterAid (www.wateraid.org.au), an international NGO that helps communities access clean water closer to home, enable women and girls to spend more of their time going to school, seeking employment, looking after children, and engaging in leisure activities.

From 19-23 March, take a step towards a healthier lifestyle, put your peers through their paces, and walk for those who walk too much. Sign up at www.walkforwater.org.au. This event coincides with World Water Day, which is recognised annually on 22 March.

Arts Festival

On Friday December 1st, Parktone hosted its second Arts Festival with much success! Despite the grey and rainy forecast, the colourful and creative paintings, sculptures and drawings blew our community away. We had an array of stall holders selling delicious cupcakes, beautiful hand made cards and jewelry in addition to a variety of clay, painting and mosaic workshops! 

Leadership Day

On Wednesday 15th November, we hosted our second Leadership Day for the year. It was great to see our students talents shine with an energetic Aerobics performance, Prep Bucket Filler's song, Grade 1 Japanese leaders singing in addition to our school choir group. We had guests joining us from many schools from across the state who were blown away by the confidence of our students as they toured the school. Thank you to everyone who attended. 

Japanese Sister School Visit - Welcome Saikyo Gakuen

On Friday 13th October, we were delighted to host the Principal and Business Manager from Saikyo Gakuen.

We look forward to some of our staff and students visiting them next year for our first Study Tour in 2019.
