Welcome!
A group of parents in Melbourne
The PARED Foundation has established four schools in Sydney Sydney
The school will open in Melbourne in 2016 with a
foundation (previously known as “preparatory” or “prep”) and a grade 1 class.
One additional year level will
then be introduced each subsequent calendar year (e.g.: grade 2 in 2017; grade 3 in 2018).
Enrolments will be open to both girls and boys until
the end of grade 2. From year 3 onwards this school will continue on as a
girls’ school up until year 12.
We have been laying the groundwork for the school for
several years already, and in 2013 we convened a more formal steering
committee, under the guidance of the PARED Board. The current members of that committee are:
Damien and Tatiana Burger
Daniel and Elizabeth Carrick
Patrick and Maureen Coyne
Elizabeth McKeown
Rosemary Mullins
Trent and Isabelle Thomas

What is the PARED model of education?
In 1982, the founders of the PARED schools introduced
into Australia a personalised system of education which had been successfully
implemented in many schools throughout the world.
Two prominent features which characterise the
PARED schools:
· The education is
personalised: that is directed
towards the whole person, seeking to integrate the pursuit of academic
excellence, the acquisition of skills and the development of the student's
character.
· The Personalised
Tutorial System, pioneered in Australia by PARED, ensures that each child is
helped to be the best person he or she can be. It facilitates the partnership
between parents and school, which ensures the
children receive a holistic and efficacious education.

unique features, please visit www.pared.edu.au.
