Parkvale School Report. By Adam Neilson

What school is that on the horizon?

If you’re walking down Howard Street, you may come across a school called Parkvale. Parkvale School is a very beautiful school with a great environment for kids between 5 and 11.

Ways Of Learning:

At Parkvale, we have two ways of learning, Original (Pen/Pencil and Paper) and Digital (Devices). In the first part of the school (Rm 1-16+17) is the original type of learning style. And in the 2nd part of the school, (Rm 10-21b) is the digital side of Parkvale. Both of these learning types are very similar, except that the seniors are allowed to bring their own devices.

Students:

The students here at Parkvale School are amazing. They are creative, joyful and very happy! The school is split up into 7 year groups. Year 0-6. Students are also split into ages. 5-11. All classes are split into hubs. Also, a new MLE (Modern Learning Environment) hub has been formed with 3 classes in it.

Opportunities:

Students here at Parkvale have many opportunities to do and experience. The list is endless! You got sports like, Rugby, Barefoot 10/7’s, Netball, Miniball, Hockey, Cricket and much more!
