PARED Victoria founded Harkaway Hills College in 2016. Since then, Lysterfield Lake College is the latest school to be associated with the PARED Victoria Foundation, starting in 2022.
A personal initiative of parents and educators, the PARED Victoria Foundation was set up to operate schools and other educational projects which assist parents in their task as the primary educators of their children.
Built on the belief that both home and school are the key learning environments of every child, a united purpose between parents and teachers would be the basis for our schools, and exactly what set us apart.
PARED Victoria Schools offer a personalised system of education, seeking to integrate the pursuit of academic excellence with an education in human virtues. Offering a solid and deep foundation in the Catholic faith, PARED Victoria schools develop leaders of integrity who will contribute to family and society.
The Personalised Mentoring System ensures that each child is helped to be the best person he or she can be. Every student is assigned a mentor and they meet fortnightly to work on academic and personal goals. This facilitates the partnership between parents and school, giving each student every opportunity to work towards success at home and at school.
