Welcome to Plenty Parklands Primary School. At Plenty Parklands Primary School we deliver a high quality primary school education, providing children with solid foundations for secondary education and preparing our students to become successful Australian citizens. The atmosphere of the school is supportive and friendly, with students, staff and parents working together to achieve the best learning outcomes for all children in a caring environment.
Second day of having students back with us and it is just lovely to see so many smiling faces. Visiting classes and chatting with students in the yard are definitely highlights of being a principal.
Special welcome to our new students and families; Ellah 1-27, Corey 1-28, Sanggavi 1-27, Jeremy 1-24, Joshua 2-23, Ava 2-15, Peter 2-22, Jack 2-16, Abineash 2-15, Kevin 3-18, James 3-19, Ryan 4-32, Weiqi 4-32 and Vinh 5-8. We trust they will love being part of the PPPS community. Another special welcome to our new staff members, Nada Simondson (prep 11), Jaclyn Sullivan (1-26), Kristy Caruso (5-1), Dan Sterritt (6-4), Robert Johnstone (4-31) and Sarah Cunningham (6-5). Each person has brought something special to PPPS and we are glad they chose us! We also say welcome back to Drew Norgate who is a familiar face to many of our senior students.
Two familiar faces who have changed their names are Natalie Paizis (nee Ive) and Katrina Whiting (nee McNaughton). Congratulations to both on their weddings over the holidays; the photos are gorgeous. Congratulations to Kim Jones and her family. Kim delivered their fourth child, a boy named Kacey, early in the holidays. Kim and Andrew now have girl, boy, girl, boy – good for learning about patterns!
Just a reminder that our Prep Welcome BBQ is this Thursday from 5 -7 pm; it is a great way to meet other families and help your child settle into school. Their first ‘real day’ is Friday when our 114 preps, including four lots of twins, start their seven years at PPPS. Now that’s exciting! Remember that if you have any questions or concerns at any time during the year speak with your child’s teacher first, their Unit Manager or School Improvement Coach (leading teacher), their welfare coordinator, one of our assistant principals or directly with me. All these people are happy for you to make contact personally, by phone, by letter or by email. Rather than worry about things, just contact us and we will help.
On a sad note we would like to express our condolences to any of our families who were affected by the tragic deaths of the teenagers in Plenty Rd. It is a real tragedy to lose such young lives.
Working towards a great start to our learning this year,
Claire McInerney - Principal

The greatest gifts to give a boy...
It’s stating the obvious that boys and girls are different. One of the biggest differences is based around time and timing. Click here to read more...
