Dear Parents

WELCOME BACK TO QUARTER 4 

I have always been passionate about learners understanding that subjects are never taught in silo's but have connections to each other. A wonderful example of this is the science lesson where the Grade 6s were learning about the Artemis Program. They then had the opportunity to use their artistic skills to create technical drawings of the Space Launch System. To view more about the lesson, click on our Academics link. 

Thank you to our Culture Department and in particular to Mr Ernstzen and Mrs Domingo who gave up a few hours of their holiday to make the Deputy Heads Conference, hosted by Parklands College a magical event. 

First Day of the Quarter and Summer Uniform

Learners return for the Spring quarter on Wednesday, 2 October 2024. Learners will change to Summer uniform on Wednesday, 2 October 2024.

World Teacher's Day

UNESCO inaugurated 5 October 1994 as World Teachers' Day. World Teachers' Day represents a significant effort to raise awareness, understanding and appreciation for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development across the globe.

On Saturday we celebrate World Teachers Day, we want to thank our Parklands College Teachers, for their time, effort and contribution towards educating our future generations, particularly during these interesting times.  You are Reaching Outwards, Growing Minds, Building Futures.
