Small Schools are Great!

Small schools like ours have a relaxed family feel where children feel at home. Children are not lost in the crowd and are well known by staff.

Some may think that small schools can’t offer the wide variety of activities that larger schools can. This is certainly not the case at Paparangi, as the school offers a large variety of activities beyond the core curriculum areas. In fact it is more likely that your child will have an opportunity to participate, with smaller numbers and all the opportunities!

Here are some of the activities that the school has been involved in the last year.
