Success of the Mother’s Day Stall
I hope all Mums had a very special Mother’s Day. The Parkwood PS Mother’s Day stall is an enduring tradition that has been operating approximately 37 years! Yet again, the ladies who work to make this a special experience for your children and ultimately, for all mums, have achieved their aim. I congratulate Ann-Marie Heard, whose enthusiasm, energy and commitment has been inspiring. Ann-Marie has been supported by others who similarly deserve congratulations and thanks. This group includes Joyce Fong, who has been involved in the Mother’s Day stall for 12 years! Our thanks are also extended to Tania Austen, Amanda Kelly, Dianne Smith, Marina Scully-Ward and Carlene Wakefield. Well done, ladies!
No Access to Staff Car Park
The staff car park is not to be accessed by parents. Only under exceptional circumstances, such as collecting an unwell child, should a parent use the staff car park. Some schools have to resort to the installation of bollards to keep parents and others from utilising their car parks. While we do not want to use school funds for this purpose, we will, if people are unwilling to cooperate. We want a car park that does not pose dangers for children, so your cooperation is appreciated.
Library News
The library has received a delivery of new books which urgently need covering. If you can offer an hour or so to cover these books, please call into the library and see Sheryl Baker, School Library Officer.
