A brief description of every subject offered to students in years 8 - 12 at Parafield Gardens High School.
Since 2011, Parafield Gardens High School has engaged in and developed a close relationship with the Sammy D Foundation. All year 8 students undertake an impact presentation and team building activities with the Sammy D Foundation on year 8 camp. Through the telling of Sam's story, students learn about the consequences of violence. Following the presentation, from Neil Davis, students undertake workshops which empower students to make positive, safe choices.
