Parke State School is a small, rural school on the southern edge of Maryborough. We cater currently for students from Prep to Year 7. Parke State School is a close-knit community that embodies the spirit of a small school. It has a very active Parent s and CitizenCommittee that tirelessly works for, and supports the needs of, the school. Parents are regular visitors and valued helpers within our school.The parent body largely works in agriculture although a proportion do work in other professions. Most students live nearby the school as it is an enrolment mangaged school. The parent body has traditional values around schooling and it values their children being well prepared academically and socially for the rigours of high school. Students generally achieve well in assessment.
