Education Directory introduces Para Hills High School in Para Hills West, for all your education and learning needs.

At Para Hills High School, our approach to learning develops the unique talents and interests of each young person. We say to students “it’s your vision and your future - we will do our best to help you achieve it”. I am pleased to inform you that our top year 12 student in 2011, achieved a university score of 97.5 and the number of year 12 students going to university and TAFE courses doubled.

Our school values of Respect, Responsibility, Rigour - doing your best, underpin our approach to ensure each student is engaged in learning. Our highly skilled staff work closely with the Student Representative Council and our parents through our Governing Council. Our commitment to maintaining excellent communication channels between the school and parents has enabled Para Hills High School students to have excellent attendance rates (only 2% unexplained absences) and a student retention rate better than other schools in the Northern Region. Our strategic priorities include:

• Improve student engagement and achievement (rigour, responsibility)
• Increase students’ aspirations (rigour)
• Ensure high expectations are made of all learners (respect, responsibility)
• Decrease our environmental footprint and increase our sustainability (respect, responsibility)
• Use data effectively to shape, support and review our improvement strategies (rigour, responsibility).
