The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School

About

We have developed a 3 year plan in consultation with our community, connected to a budget and student outcomes. The School Excellence Framework underpins our school planning and reporting approach. The framework provides a clear description of the key elements of high-quality practice across learning, teaching and leading. The school plan is highly strategic, focusing on 3 key areas for improvement we have determined in consultation with our community. It demonstrates our alignment and commitment to excellence as part of public education in NSW to ensure a profound difference to the ongoing growth and development of our school. Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year. Local enrolment area Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. The School Finder shows our local enrolment area. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change. How to enrol When you’re ready to enrol your child in our school, you’ll attend an interview with the principal. There you can discuss any medical conditions or other special circumstances before your child starts school. We may also complete a risk assessment on the enrolment. For more information, visit primary school enrolment or contact us to discuss your child’s enrolment. Download an application to enrol (PDF 579KB). Application forms must be completed in English. However, a translated application to enrol may help you to fill out the form in English. Temporary visas and international students For information about eligibility and forms to complete, visit the Temporary Residents Program. Non-local enrolments As outlined in the department’s enrolment policy, our school may accept enrolments from outside our local enrolment area if places are available. Distance education Distance education is an equity program for students who are geographically isolated or whose individual circumstances prevent them from regularly attending school. Students must meet one of the conditions in Distance Education Enrolment Procedures to be eligible for access to this provision.
