Parkes Christian School is now welcoming enrolments for the 2026 and 2027 academic years in response to increasing student numbers.

With enrolments open now until the end of May 2025, parents are encouraged to apply early to secure a place for their child at this growing school.

Over recent years, Parkes Christian School has experienced significant growth, particularly in Kindergarten and Year 7.

The school now has over 400 students across all year levels, reflecting its strong reputation for providing quality education within a supportive community.

School principal Mr Glen Westcott highlighted the school’s commitment to maintaining a small-school environment while managing this growth.

“Some time ago we made the decision to limit our class sizes, including capping enrolments and splitting year groups across two classes,” Mr Westcott said.

He also urged parents considering enrolment for any year level to apply as soon as possible, as several classes are nearing capacity. Enrolments for all year groups are now open, and demand continues to rise.

Mr Westcott emphasised that while the school is expanding, it remains dedicated to retaining its close-knit, community-focused feel.

“We are still small enough to get to know each student individually and cater to their unique needs," he said.

"At the same time, we are large enough to offer a full range of HSC subjects, competitive classroom environments, sports teams, musicals, and so much more.

"This balance ensures that every student has the opportunity to participate and feel a strong sense of belonging.”

Parkes Christian School is also excited to invite prospective families to its School Expo on Monday, March 17.

This event is open to anyone interested in learning more about the school, so come along and see what Parkes Christian School has to offer. A sausage sizzle will be available during the evening, providing a great opportunity to meet staff and experience the school’s welcoming community first hand.

Parents interested in enrolling their child at Parkes Christian School should act quickly to secure a spot, as some year groups are already full and have waitlists. For more information about the application process or to arrange a school tour, contact the school office at 6862 4164 or email enrolments@parkescs.nsw.edu.au.

An online enrolment application form is also available on the school’s website at www.parkescs.nsw.edu.au/enrolment.

With its strong commitment to nurturing a welcoming and supportive school community, Parkes Christian School continues to provide outstanding education for its students. As enrolments for 2026 and 2027 open, parents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to become part of the Parkes Christian School family.
