K-2 “Infants” Frolic

One of the great traditions of Parkes East is our “Infants Frolic” which is being held tomorrow evening. A fabulous family event that has been running for many decades, the Frolic is always a great deal of fun. Unfortunately a prior commitment means that I will be unable to attend.

A massive thank you to the staff: Mrs Dunford, Miss Fitzpatrick, Miss Harpley; Mr Knights, Miss Owens and Miss Parker; who supported our Stage 2 students on their overnight excursion to Bathurst last week.

May your week be full of joy. Michael
