Andrew describes how a PARED school works together with families by
means of the tutorial system, which is unique to the PARED schools. He will also give an overview of the academic
program, and describe how the school supports parents in the spiritual
development of their children and provides an education in the Catholic faith.
Dr Marie Therese Gibson – Personalised Education – June 2014
Dr Marie Therese Gibson is the Principal of Tangara School for Girls,
the first PARED school in Australia

of academic excellence and the acquisition of skills, the emphasis placed on
the development of virtue is what ultimately forms a well rounded and happy
person. This integrated education is realised through the partnership between
parents and school. It is made concrete and given a practical efficacy through
the ‘Personal Tutorial System’ that is unique to the PARED Schools.
