Our new Specialist Centre is being enjoyed by all Parktone students during regular Physical Education, Visual Art and Performing Arts lessons. The amazing new space has opened up so many more learning opportunities for our students.
I am excited to be part of the Parktone Primary School community. I look forward to meeting students, staff and parents and getting to know each individually.

Parktone Primary School is holding a Waste-Free Lunch Challenge.Each Wednesday, we ask that your child’s lunch contain as few items as possible that must be thrown away. Ideally, your child’s lunch will only contain items that will be eaten, composted or recycled. For more information click here!
Please be reminded that there are two designated drop off only zones on McSwain Street. Due to increased student numbers it is essential that parents do not park in these zones or park illegally in surrounding streets or the staff car park.
With the support of FranklinCovey Parktone Primary is focused on how we as educators can create leaders, one child at a time. The Leader in Me initiative based on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, is being embedded across all subject areas, and now demonstrated and taught daily.
