It was a brilliant start to the YES Horticulture Program with Ms Matthews from Orange TAFE.
Students gained valuable insights into seed germination, seasonal planting, and the intricacies of growing from seeds.
Students potted snow peas, sweet peas, broad beans, and native grasses. There are four weeks remaining of this great program.
Last Wednesday at Parkes Public School we celebrated National Simultaneous Storytime at Parkes Public School.
Classes tuned in to hear the book being read by the author, Deborah Frenkel, along with over 2 million people across Australia and New Zealand.
This year marked the 25th Anniversary of NSS and students participated in activities in the library and their classrooms to mark the event.
On Sorry Day we acknowledged a significant occasion to reflect on the impact of the past and promote healing and reconciliation within our community.

Students also attended Forbes High School and St Laurence’s Parish School for their Sorry Day events.
