Parktone family, you've done it again. 2020 saw us get our creative juices flowing during remote learning and we put togther Spoonville. Well thanks to the parents and students, we've been able to create Proud Parktonians - The Movie.

The intention of utilising Flexible Learning Spaces is to create learning environments where students have greater opportunity to make good learning choices and develop themselves as independent and interdependent learners. 

Parktone students are given the tools to lead and enjoy all aspects of learning. They immerce themselves in Japanese, Art, STEAM and Sport which enhances their school life. During remote learning, the on site students tapped into the skills they'd learnt and created their very own Spoonville.

There are so many wonderful things to know about Parktone Primary School and we've created a snapshot in our Prospectus such as Leader In Me, Our Learning Environment, Leaders In Wellbeing, Literacy, Numeracy, Specialist Classes, Grounds & Facilities, Community Partnerships and so much more.

At Parktone Primary School, we pride ourselves on being a safe and healthy community. There are many ways to get to and from school which can keep you active and reduce congestion at peak times.

We had a great day celebrating Leadership and Personal Responsibility at our most recent Leadership Morning. Students and guests enjoyed fantastic performances and speeches followed by activities centred around the first Habit of Be Proactive. 

Our new Specialist Centre is being enjoyed by all Parktone students during regular Physical Education, Visual Art and Japanese lessons. The amazing new space has opened up so many more learning opportunities for our students. 

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.

In September, 19 Parktone students and 5 staff members travelled to Japan as part of our inaugural visit to our sister school Saikyo Gakuen in Matsumoto.

Parktone Primary School is proud be a Leader in Me Lighthouse status! We are the first government school in Australia to receive this honour. Over 2000 schools in the world are part of the Leader In Me process and only 151 have Lighthouse status. 

On May 22nd and 23rd we welcomed students from Saikyo Gakuen, our Japanese sister school for their third Parktone visit. Our visiting students learned about Australian culture, enjoyed a home stay with Parktone families and shared their culture on our annual Japanese Day.
