SRC VALENTINE'S DAY FUNDRAISER😍
Congratulations to the SRC who raised just over $200 for school projects with their Valentine's Day fundraiser. All goodies were sold out in record fast time this year!

Parkes High SRC held their annual pink stumps cricket day to raise money for the McGrath Foundation. Over $600 was raised and all the students had a great time playing cricket on the oval. The SRC wanted to thank everyone who supported the day and all the students who participated.

Staff and students embraced the R U OK? day. In roll call everyone watched a message from the R U OK? organisation advocating that there is more to just saying R U OK? The Senior SRC then organised a fun lunchtime with games, music, photo booth and a sausage sizzle. Congratulations to all the students and staff who made today a great day and one that will help to start the conversation.

The SRC organised a mufti week for all the students and staff to finish off a challenging Term 2 to say a big thankyou for everyones co-operation and resileince in uncertain times. Each day had a different theme, Monday beanies, Tuesday crazy socks, Wednesday someting pink, Thursday jerseys and Friday jeans.

A big congratulations to the new senior leadership team and all of the Year 11 helpers who organised ‘Pink It Up’ PHS day. It was a fantastic day, with everyone dressing in pink and participating in a friendly games of cricket. While we played  cricket we listened to Miss Kempson’s great tunes. We also enjoyed snacking on slushies, sausages and a bake sale.

All proceeds raised are going to the McGrath Foundation as part of the ‘Pink It Up Parkes’ initiate. Over $1300 was raised by the students and staff at Parkes High School.
