As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service – in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.
Today’s final assembly was a true testament to their growth, maturity, and resilience. Even through the tears and emotion, they stood tall and delivered their lines with poise and confidence. Their heartfelt performances moved us all, and their singing – as always – was absolutely phenomenal, filling the room with joy and pride.
We were so grateful the rain held off just long enough for us to celebrate these amazing young people out on the field with some well-deserved refreshments.
What an inspiring, talented, and thoughtful group of children they are! Every single one of them has left a lasting impression on our school community, and we have no doubt that they are heading off to do truly wonderful things in the next stage of their journey.
Well done Year 6 – you are a credit to yourselves, your families, and Parkside. We’ll miss you dearly, but we’re so excited to see where life takes you next!
Today our talented children wowed us with their incredible performances at the iRock concert! From powerful drumming to confident vocals, every act showcased the hard work, passion, and courage of our amazing pupils.
Across the school, children stepped up and shone like true rockstars – their energy, enthusiasm, and talent were simply outstanding!
A huge well done to everyone who took part – we’re so proud of you all! And thank you to iRock for helping our young musicians discover their inner stars.
Parents, carers, and the whole school were treated to an unforgettable display of singing, dancing, and acting in this year’s end-of-year production:
“I’m an Eleven-Year-Old… Get Me Out of Here!”
We are SO proud of every single one of you. The determination, dedication, and teamwork that you put into this show were second to none.
What a way to end your time at Parkside — you’ve done yourselves and your school proud!
The children shared their work reflecting all of the subjects in our curriculum. There were some beautiful examples of work in English, Maths, Science and even some fabulous examples of homework! Keep up the great work!

Congratulations to Karla, Amara, Bella, Shayo, Erina, Elliana, Leo, Lexi and Andrii who all gained their wings this week for their amazing work. Well done!
Year 1 has been writing some excellent setting descriptions. Year 2 have been inspired by the recent visit of the local Fire Brigade and created their own fire engines in their DT lessons. Year 3 have been working incredibly hard in Maths and have been using bar models to find a missing number. Year 4 Rowan has been learning about classification of animals in Science and Year 4 Aspen shared some amazing homework. The children were inspired by the robot in The Iron Man and designed their own friendly robots. A child in Year 5 shared their amazing art creations inspired by different animals. Finally, in English, Year 6 have been reading the poem ‘The Listeners’ and wrote their own rhyming and free verse poems. Keep up the great work!
The firefighters spoke to the children about fire safety, showed them the equipment they use, and even let the pupils explore the fire engine. The children were thrilled to try on helmets, hear the siren, try out the fire hose and learn how to stay safe in an emergency. A huge thank you to the local firefighters for such an educational and memorable experience!
