Events Information
Paraburdoo Primary School hosts and is involved in many events throughout the year. For more detailed information on up coming events please check the term planner and newsletters.
Assemblies
These are held every three weeks and include an item from a designated class.
Presentation Night
This night is held at the end of the school year and showcases an item from each class and presentations are given for student achievements. It is a fantastic night held out under the stars where parents, family and friends bring a chair, sit on the lawn and enjoy the show.
Learning Journey
Our learning journey held at the end of term one invites parents to come and enjoy the work that their children have completed throughout the term. This event is held in the evening
and is always a great night.
Swimming Carnivals
At the beginning of the year our faction and interschool (competing against Tom Price) swimming carnivals are held. Using our fantastically appointed town pool, these days showcase the fantastic abilities of our young swimmers and promote participation, enjoyment and team spirit.
Athletics Carnivals
Our athletics carnivals are held at the end of term three. Faction sports are held over two days, one for field events and one for track events. This format is followed in the interschool carnival where we compete against Tom Price Schools. Once again the emphasis is on participation, enjoyment and team spirit.
Tom Price is our closest town, so throughout the year we are involved in numerous sporting events including:
- Eagles Cup Footy
- Cross Country
- Jump Rope for Heart
Every year we participate in fundraising for the Heart Foundation. Children gain sponsorship for the jump off day and then all proceeds go to the heart foundation. It is a very worthy cause and one that we have supported for many years. It also encourages students to become more active.
Senior Camp
To enable our senior class to bond and become leaders in our school we organise a yearly camp. This camp incorporates fun, learning and team building and has visited such places as Canberra and Point Perron.
Range of Incursions
Throughout the year we invite a wide variety of visiting performers for the enjoyment and engagement of our students. Groups range from authors, Scitec, Constable Care, sporting clinics, dance and musical groups.
NAIDOC
Paraburdoo Primary School is proud to be involved with the NAIDOC celebration on an annual basis.
Book Fairs
These are held terms two and four and are a great way to stock up on books for home as well as raising money to enable us to enhance our library collection.
