Year 7

Year 7 Advisor

Hello and welcome to Parkes High School. My name is Brett Pinkston and I will be your Year Advisor in 2019.

You can find me in the English Staffroom, downstairs in B Block, near B13 .

My role as Year Advisor is to introduce you to the school, help you settle in and answer some of your questions.  I am here to help if you are worried about something.

I am a contact person for your parents or carers.

Our goal is to make you as happy and safe at Parkes High School as possible.  That way you can do your best and enjoy your time with us.

I look forward to getting to know all of you over the coming years.


Internet Edge and BYOD

On Friday 22.11.19 a new internet service will be installed at our school.  This will impact the way Bring Your own Device (BYOD) computers and non-Windows will access the Internet.

Why is DoE introducing this new internet service?

This new internet service will:

  • boost schools’ internet capacity and performance
  • better cater to schools’ constantly evolving IT-enabled learning initiatives
  • help protect schools from cyber threats.

The information below will explain how you will be affected.
