22.01.2022 It is beautiful to see little hearts learning Quran with action and rhythm. Children from the Foundation class are memorizing Surah Fateha with Mrs Akbari.

21.01.2022 Summary of video: Playford College had an excellent Term 3 in regards to the teaching and learning Thank you to all the parents for attending the Student Led Conferences. It was very good seeing students take responsibility for their learning. ... The new fences and gates are up and working. Parents will need to use the small gate with the intercom on it to access the School. Although this is an inconvenience sometimes it does mean that Playford College is now a safer school. The car park is now staff only and the gates open only for a short time in the mornings for staff to park. Please do not park on the yellow lines on Durrington Road in the given times to avoid Council fines. Some parents have already been fined! Tomorrow is the Book Week parade and dress up day. Due to the weather we will be holding smaller parades in the Prayer Hall starting at 9:15am for Foundation and Year 1, followed by Year 2, 3 and 4s and then the Year 5, 6 and 7s. Parents are welcome to observe the parade. We have enjoyed having our Mayor, Federal MP and a Senator as special guests reading to the children during Book Week. On behalf of our parents, we thanked our staff for their dedication and hard work during Term 3. Have a wonderful holiday with your children!
