A massive thank you to the 111 families who completed our parent survey! It is a very important part of our design process, and we will be able to give feedback on your answers when all surveys have been collated. We know you are all eagerly awaiting to hear who has won the iPad mini. We will draw the winner on Tuesday when a board member is able to be present, and we will announce the winner at our School Whānau Hui.

Flexible Learning Space Open Afternoons

We currently have two prototyped flexible learning spaces running at Parkview School. These are Room 12 and 13, and Room 17 and 18. For the next two Thursdays (Oct 27th and Nov 3rd) they will be open from 3 - 3.30 for you to come and have a look around and have a chat with the teachers. If you are wanting to speak with Room 17/18 teachers please make sure you go on the 27th as the following Thursday they are away on camp.
