Parkes Public Spreads Kindness Like Sunshine

September 18, 2020 By editor

Class group 6C at Parkes Public School all wanted to be the ‘i’ in kind when the school celebrated kindness for a week to focus on the good in the world during these times of turmoil.

“Kindness is spreading sunshine into other people’s lives, regardless of the weather.”

After the mixed up beginning to the year, Parkes Public School decided to focus on the good in our world, and the good we can show other people. The whole school celebrated a week of kindness as term 3 is drawing to a close.

All members of the school community took part in some way. “We all talked about how we can be kind, how we can help others belong and how we can use our power to make the world a happier place,” said teacher Erin Woolstencroft. “Last Thursday we took time to check in with each other for R U OK Day.”

There was a chocolate fairy who visited the teachers, classes made gifts for each other, there were discussions on how students could help people in our local community, and the week finished off by being the ‘i’ in kind. “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
