💛 R U OK? Day at our school 💛
Today, our amazing Student Leaders put their leadership skills into action as they proudly wore their R U OK? shirts and helped spread an important message throughout our school.
Their bright shirts created a wonderful presence in the yard as they checked in with students, started conversations and reminded everyone that asking, “Are you OK?” can make a real difference. 🌟
In classrooms, students took part in some really important and meaningful conversations about friendship, kindness, looking out for one another, and knowing when it’s okay to ask for help.
While R U OK? Day gives us a special opportunity to stop and check in, these are conversations we want to continue today and every day. 💛
A huge thank you to Mr Rob Pearl and our Student Leaders for being such wonderful role models and using their voices to help make our school a kinder, more connected and caring place.
Remember: a simple “Are you OK?” can start an important conversation. 💛

📱✨ What a special day at Paringa Park PS! ✨📱

Today we were thrilled to welcome some very special visitors to our school — Premier Peter Malinauskas, Minister for Education Lucy Hood and Sarah Andrews MP — as we proudly shone a spotlight on the Wait Mate program.
🌱 Wait Mate is about giving our kids more time to simply be kids.
It’s a growing movement of parents who believe childhood should be shaped by real people, real-world experiences, meaningful connections and plenty of time to explore, play and grow — before smartphones become part of the picture.
The message is simple: wait as long as possible before giving our children their first smartphone. 📵
At Paringa Park PS, we know that raising happy, confident and connected kids is a team effort. 💙 It takes families, schools and communities working together to create an environment where our children can thrive.

👏 Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s support each other. And most importantly, let’s give our kids the gift of more childhood.
