We celebrated 40 extraordinary years of public education at @PrairiewoodHigh 1984-2024 today. Special to celebrate alongside students, staff, current & former principals, @hugh_mcdermott & community members. Honoured to speak at the assembly & present awards to students & staff.

Congratulations to all Public Education Award recipients #ProudlyPublic @Bonnyrigg_PS @PrairiewoodHigh #CowpastureNetwork @NSWEducation A wonderful celebration of the power of Public Education- proud to belong!

Happy Public Education Week. Thank you @PEFOZ for again recognising the richness of NSW public education. I couldn’t be more prouder of @PrairiewoodHigh and @LilaMularczyk Definitely a night to remember! It was great to connect and celebrate everything great about public education

Here’s our 2024 “One Second A Day” video from Principal Ms Giudice. It’s @belinda_giudice last one. These have been made by Ms Giudice for the past six years. Enjoy!

Farewell & thank you! Belinda Giudice - “the best principal at the best school” 😉@PrairiewoodHigh @belinda_giudice #BetterTogether @k_rigas @NSWEducation

AND I forgot to mention: @belinda_giudice is also such a great sport 😇… and so respected by her team!

Exiting @PrairiewoodHigh in style! Thank you for a beautiful send off today after six extraordinary years. My heart is full and thankful @MSiokos @k_rigas #bettertogether

A packed house at the Year 10 into 11 Subject Selection evening. Another great opportunity for students and families to discover the power of education and aspiration

‘So proud of all of you’ Ms Giudice addresses her final assembly @PrairiewoodHigh ‘you guys are sensational…phenomenal achievements’ . Yes Miss, we’ve ’smashed it!’ A dedicated outstanding educational leader. Goodbye & thank you #BetterTogether #CowpastureNetwork @NSWEducation

One of the biggest (& best) days on the PHS calendar….students, staff, parents and community coming together to celebrate our diversity and belonging through our annual Multicultural Day.

The Haka is a powerful spiritual connector acknowledging gratitude and goodwill. We presented @belinda_giudice the ‘Tika Tonu’ haka. This is about a father who was concerned for his son’s wellbeing and told him that he will find the positive answers within for personal change.

Eid Mubarak to our families who celebrate.

Inspirational words from a Year 10 student for our Refugee Week Assembly

A powerful and moving Refugee Week Assembly. With over 170 refugee students at our school, a highlight of celebration, optimism and hope.

A great Twilight led by @TESOLoz for all our teaching staff. We are engaging in Classrooms of Possibility research (High Challenge, High Support learning & teaching). Thank you to Tammy So, HT Learning Support, for sharing your EAL/D classroom with us
