Parkerville Steiner College Djeran Feast
In order to celebrate the beginning of Djeran and the end of Term One, Class Seven and Eight Parkerville Steiner College students will be gathering for a shared Djeran Feast on Thursday 6th of April. Djeran is the Noongar season of adulthood, which brings welcome respite from the searing summer heat in the form of cooler nights, light breezes and the presence of dew on the plants in the early mornings. Traditionally this was the time of year to nourish and prepare the body for the cold of Makuru.
Aligning with this time of nourishing we will be asking Class Seven and Eight families to provide some homemade and if possible seasonal food that we can share as part of the celebration. On the day, students will also take part in landscape planning and the planting native plants on the school grounds as we further beautify our wonderful new campus.

Secondary Assistance Scheme
The State Government through the Western Australian Department of Education provides an allowance to assist eligible families with secondary schooling costs.
Parents/guardians must apply for the Secondary Assistance Scheme each school year (annually) - applications do not carry forward to future years.
To be eligible for the allowance the parent/guardian must hold a Department of Human Services (Centrelink) or Veterans' Affairs card that represents a statement of income for the family.
The allowance consists of two components:
- $115 Clothing Allowance paid directly to the parent/guardian.

Application is made by the parent or guardian for student/s enrolled in Years 7-12 studying a full-time secondary course at a Western Australian non government (private) school.
