| History/Origin | Forrest Parade School is a specialist government primary school (Preschool to Year 6) located on Forrest Parade in Bellamack. The school opened in 2017, having been renamed from Palmerston Special School in October 2016, after the original name was gazetted earlier that year. The school's name is derived from Forrest Parade, which commemorates 19th-century Western Australian politician and explorer Alexander Forrest (1849-1901), who led an 1879 expedition across the Kimberley region into the Northern Territory. |
