Following on from our last update, we would like to invite you to our first information session of 2014. We are hosting these sessions to give prospective parents of the new Melbourne PARED school the information they need to help them with their decision regarding the enrolment of their children.
We have invited Marina Haines to address parents on the topic: “The practicalities of sending your child to a new small school”.
Marina Haines has recently retired as principal of Montgrove College – a school in Sydney of the PARED (Parents for Education) Foundation. Marina was the first principal of the then called Orchard Hills Preparatory School, which opened in 1999 with 15 children in foundation (prep). Orchard Hills Prep has now grown into Montgrove College for Girls and Wollemi College for boys.
Her presentation will cover how parents and teachers worked together to have a fully functional school with a small number of students. The PARED school in Melbourne will be based on a similar model.
