| Parkerville is located in the hills surrounded by natural bush 30 kilometres East of Perth. The first Government school at Parkerville was established in January 1899. The current school was built in 1962, with over one million dollars being spent on the school in 1999. This refurbishment resulted in a new school entrance, Administration building, Library, Covered Assembly area and Art room including an Outdoor Visual Arts area. The school has a friendly, family atmosphere with the current population around 280 from Kindergarten to Year 7. This number has remained steady over the past five years, although with increased developments in the area, it is conceivable this number will increase in the next few years. All classrooms are heated and air-conditioned and have telephone and Internet access. Classroom computers are networked and classes have a minimum of two computers in each room. The school also has a learning technology room with thirteen computers situated in a well-resourced library. The school community believes that every child has the right to achieve to their potential and the staff at Parkerville are professional, friendly and committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for all students.
