PARED (Parents for Education) |
What is the PARED?
The Parents for Education Foundation, also known by its acronym PARED, is the non-profit company that founded Redfield with the objective of establishing and operating schools and other projects with similar educational aims. The Foundation operates Tangara School for Girls, Retaval Infants School (Wahroonga), Retaval Infants School (South Strathfield), Orchard Hills Preparatory School, and Wollemi College (Werrington). PARED also publishes Perspective magazine, a family and parenting magazine, and an educational service which conducts parenting programs.
PARED oversees the ethos of Redfield, and makes financial and developmental decisions.
PARED members are parents or founders who have been associated with the school for many years. An explanation of the structure of the company and list of members of the Board and of the membership of various committees is to be found in Appendix F.
