Vicki from Training 2000 visited school for a lunchtime drop-in session, giving students from all year groups the opportunity to learn more about apprenticeship pathways. Many students spoke with Vicki to explore opportunities in areas such as dental nursing, optical, scaffolding, engineering, and more. Thank you to Vicki for taking the time to support and inspire our students!
Girls from the year 8 Netball team had their first game last night against Primet. The beautiful weather made it difficult for the team during the first half with the girls trying their best to make accurate passes and goals into the direct sunlight. The first half finished 6-2 to Primet but the girls were determined to to try and pull it back in the second half. Parks second half was much more promising with some excellent defensive skills and attacking play. The score ended 8-4 to Primet. Well done to Primet who showed some great shooting and defence skills. Well done to our girls for showing resilience and team work and special mention to Elise A in WD and Heidi R in GD for being awarded players of the match by the opposing team. We look forward to seeing our year 8's develop through their competitive games over the coming weeks.
Park made a fantastic start to their netball season in their first Year 7 fixture against Primet. After winning the toss, Park secured first centre pass and immediately made it count. The team got off to a strong start, with some excellent shooting from Sophie B, who showed great composure in the circle to convert early opportunities. Defensively, Park were just as impressive. Olivia H delivered an outstanding performance, applying constant pressure and making crucial interceptions to prevent Primet from settling into the game. By half time, Park had established a commanding 4–0 lead. The second half saw more exceptional teamwork, sharp passing, and determined defending. Park continued to dominate across the court, extending their lead and maintaining high energy throughout. Their hard work paid off with a well-deserved 9–1 victory. Player of the Match was awarded to Ava D for her superb performance at WD, where her relentless marking and ability to win back possession made a huge impact. A brilliant team effort and a superb start to the season — well done, Park!
Year 7 students visited Marsden Heights this week to participate in a debate on topics around racial stereotypes, misinformation and fake news, prejudices, and how to become friends with people who look different to ourselves. It was a brilliant morning, and all students participated excellently, despite some nerves at the beginning about being in front of 200 students! They were a real credit to Park and took a lot away from the session. We look forward to hosting Marsden Heights next week!
