Dear Parkview Families,
We are very excited to see you back from the holidays. We hope you’ve had a restful break and the opportunity to enjoy the company of friends and family. Here are some updates to help you ease back in to the swing of school.
Welcome back!

Parkview Snack Program
Our Food for Learning Snack Program is continuing in the new year. This program is accessible to each and every student in the school and has provided an important source of nutrition for those that find they need just a little snack to get them through the day. So far our kids have munched through 520 apples, 520 yoghurt tubes, 280 cheese strings and about 1000 granola bars.
A special thank you to our parent volunteers that make this program successful. If you are interested in supporting this program please contact our Vice Principal, Ms. Lam, at the school.
