Student Leadership Group - Up Coming Events

Welcome to Term 3, a term with some exciting things planned.

Term 2 was a very busy term for the Student Leadership. We purchased 2 new BBQ’s for the school with the money raised earlier in the year. Student Leaders have also been assisting with breakfast club each morning, serving toast and Milo to students. 

The Parklands High School MND day was held on the 23rd of June, where students were encouraged to wear their blue and white attire as well as their MND beanies and socks. Although the days forecast wasn’t ideal, we were still able to raise $538.40 for the day and the beanies and socks for about $1572. At recess the blue lemonade spiders were very popular with all of them being sold within minutes and at lunch we had another very successful barbeque. Due to unfortunate weather, the sponge throw and teacher ice bucket challenge was postponed and held in the first week of this term. Thank you to all those who participated and to everyone who donated to such a worthwhile cause.

The last week of Term 2 saw us celebrate NAIDOC week. On Monday 3rd the student leadership group attended the flag raising ceremony at the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre. At the ceremony they announced the Tasmanian Aboriginal of the Year and raised the Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islander flag. All in all, it was a beautiful ceremony which we were lucky to attend. On Tuesday 4th we held our end of term assembly in which the theme was NAIDOC week. At the assembly we invited First Nations people from the community to come along and watch. At the assembly we had a couple of speeches from Mr Wells, Guy Grey and our students who work and spend time in our Cultural Hub. We also had some educational videos around NAIDOC week. These videos and speeches helped students understand the meaning and context behind NAIDOC week and why it is so important. On Wednesday 5th we had a small group of students go to a smoking ceremony in Penguin with Guy Grey. On Friday 7th our last day of term, we had a free dress day- red, black and yellow, to once again celebrate NAIDOC week. On this day there was no donation needed to dress up. It was a lovely day, to see Parklands students embrace and celebrate the oldest living culture in the world.

We have a few events planned for Term 3:

  • Week 4 – Bullying No Way! Awareness day
  • Week 5 – Assembly
  • Week 8 – RU OK Awareness Day
  • Week 10 – Assembly
  • Week 10 - Footy Colours Day
